#KnowYourOCAthleticsStaff: Dan Musielewicz

September 7, 2020

With only a few athletic teams competing this fall, we knew the Olivet College fans are going to miss sports just as much as our student-athletes, coaches and athletic staff. We are hoping to fill that void by having some special content on our website throughout the semester. On Mondays, you will get to #KnowYourOCAthleticsStaff through some questions and answers with our head coaches and athletic administration.

Q4: What made you decide to come to Olivet?
A4: Olivet is a unique and special place. We have so much to offer in terms of quality educational programs, service opportunities and high-level athletics.

Shortly after, I realized the great honor it is to work and coach at Olivet. Every day, it is truly a privilege to teach and serve the young men who we have the opportunity to work with.

Q5: What is the number one reason you tell a prospective student-athlete on why he/she should attend Olivet?
