Syracuse University President and Chancellor Kent Syverud was named chair of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Council of Presidents for the 2019-20 academic year. The council advises the ACC on matters of common interest to the member institutions that may affect the conference as a whole.
Syverud also serves as chair of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Ad Hoc Committee on Sports Wagering.
“I look forward to working with my fellow chancellors and presidents to support the ACC’s critical priorities, including the launch of the ACC Network. It represents great potential for our member schools to gain broader exposure for all of our programs and student-athletes,” says Syverud.
“The experienced leadership of our ACC member institutions is a big reason for our conference’s continued success,” says ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “I’m confident Chancellor Syverud’s vision will continue to enhance the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2019-20 academic year.”
