Orson Scott Card (born August 24, 1951) is an American writer known best for his science fiction works. As of 2024, he is the only person to have won a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award in consecutive years, winning both awards for his novel Ender's Game (1985) and its sequel Speaker for the Dead (1986). A feature film adaptation of Ender's Game, which Card coproduced, was released in 2013. Card also wrote the Locus Fantasy Award-winning series The Tales of Alvin Maker (1987–2003). Card's fiction often features characters with exceptional gifts who make difficult choices with high stakes. Card has also written political, religious, and social commentary in his columns and other writing; his opposition to homosexuality has provoked public criticism. Card, who is a great-great-grandson of Brigham Young, was born in Richland, Washington, and grew up in Utah and California. While he was a student at Brigham Young University (BYU), his plays were performed on stage. He served in Brazil as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and headed a community theater for two summers. Card had 27 short stories published between 1978 and 1979, and he won the John W. Campbell Award for best new writer in 1978. He earned a master's degree in English from the University of Utah in 1981 and wrote novels in science fiction, fantasy, nonfiction, and historical fiction genres starting in 1979. Card continued to write prolifically, and he has published over 50 novels and 45 short stories.[1] Card teaches English at Southern Virginia University; he has written two books on creative writing and serves as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest. He has taught many successful writers at his "literary boot camps". He remains a practicing member of the LDS Church. Life Childhood and education Card (right) signing autographs at New York Comic Con in 2008 Orson Scott Card was born on August 24, 1951, in Richland, Washington.[2] He is the son of Peggy Jane (née Park) and Willard Richards Card, and is the third of six children and the older brother of composer and arranger Arlen Card.[3] Card's family has Mormon pioneer heritage. His ancestors include Brigham Young, Charles Ora Card, Zina P. Young Card, Zina Young Card Brown, and Hugh B. Brown.[4] When Card was one month old, his family moved to San Mateo, California, so Willard Card could begin a sign-painting business. When he was three years old, the family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, so his father could finish his bachelor's degree. The family moved to Santa Clara, California, when Card was six; they stayed there for seven years while his father completed his master's degree and worked as a professor at San Jose State College. In school, Card took classes for gifted students, but he was more interested in studying music—he played clarinet and French horn. He read widely, including historical fiction, nonfiction, and literary classics.[5] At age ten, he wrote his first story, which was about an intelligent child who is assaulted by bullies and sustains brain damage. Ender's confrontation with Stilson in Ender's Game is based on this story.[6] In 1964, Card and his family moved to Mesa, Arizona, where he participated in mock debates in junior high school. In 1967, the family moved to Orem, Utah, where his father worked at Brigham Young University (BYU). Card attended BYU's laboratory school, where he took both high school and early college-level classes before graduating in one year. When beginning his college studies he intended to major in archeology, but after becoming increasingly more interested in theater, he began script-writing, writing ten original plays and rewriting other students' plays. Most of his plays were based on Mormon history and scriptures; one was science fiction. By watching the body language of an audience, he could tell when an audience was interested in his scripts.[6][7] During his studies as a theater major, he began doctoring

What makes a person a woman? What makes someone a man? What is the difference between sex and gender? Is gender a social construct or a biological reality? In this week's episode of In the Den, Jen sits down with philosopher Zane Thomas as they delve into these questions and more.  Philosophical gender studies seek to identify truths in regards to gender, including the history and evolution of gender roles, our perceptions around gender, linguistic nuances surrounding gender, and our growing understanding of what gender means and how it influences our lives. Special Guest: Zane ThomasZane first fell in love with the practice of Philosophy at BYU and graduated with their Bachelor's in Philosophy from Southern Virginia University in 2021. They are currently applying to a number of Master's programs with the hopes of teaching Philosophy with an emphasis in political philosophy, and the philosophy of science. Zane is 27 years old, non-binary, and lives in Seattle with their fiance and two dogs (a border-Aussie, and a blind Aussie-Catahoula mix). They enjoy reading, playing video games, and baking gluten-free pastries. Zane first started researching the philosophy of gender in college with a reading group started by one of their peers. This group, and later study, helped them to see the continuum of gender and sex, and recognize that they did not fit into either of the traditional gender binaries. They are truly a philosopher at heart, and their attempts to label and define their own experience with gender continues to motivate their studies in the realm of gender and social roles.Links from the show: Join Mama Dragons today at www.mamadragons.org In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today at www.mamadragons.org.  Connect with Mama Dragons:WebsiteInstagramFacebookDonate to this podcast

When we go through faith transitions, people tend to respond in all different kinds of ways. Feeling fear, confusion, anger, and betrayal are super common. And many of us cry, rage, and go into funks of depression - also, totally normal. At the same time, laughter and using creativity are also ways people heal. Today we will be talking with Jennifer Renart, co-creator of the ExMo Candle Company. She says on her website: “I love making ex-Mormon candles. It's been beyond cathartic pouring my issues with the church into a jar and then lighting it on fire.”  Jennifer's family converted to Mormonism when she was six. A bishop's interview at 15 started severe feelings of worthlessness, which only intensified during her time at Southern Virginia University. Issues with Prop 8 and the A Year of Polygamy podcast pushed her into a faith transition. Making candles has been a powerful part of healing. When I burn the “Licked Cupcake” scented candle--I feel it. After spending a decade thinking she was alone and worthless, she hopes their candles can stand as physical reminders to others that none of us are alone in faith transition land.

As we imagine many of you have, we've been thinking a lot about Jesus these last few weeks. From the nativity we set up in our living room to the movies we're watching to the hymns we're singing in Church, this is a time that in so many beautiful ways, makes him more prominent in our lives and minds.And one question naturally comes up from there: when we imagine Jesus, what do we see? For many of us, it's probably heavily influenced by the art we grew up with. If you're like us, you might even be imagining the famous Del Parson painting, featuring the red-robed Jesus with piercing blue eyes.But as today's guest, Esther Candari, points out, some of this imagery strays quite far from what Jesus, a middle-eastern man born 2000 years ago, probably looked like. But she's also quick to point out that historical accuracy may not be the point either — none of us do know what Jesus looked like. And if Jesus is the Savior of the World, then couldn't there be room for diverse images Jesus in religious art that allows members of a similarly diverse, worldwide Church to resonate deeply and personally with it?That's what we spoke about with Esther in today's episode, and we found her perspectives fascinating. To give you just a bit more about her background, Esther Hi'ilani Candari is an Asian-American artist and educator from Hawai'i. She has an BFA from BYU-H, an MFA from Liberty University, studied at the New York Academy of Art, and interned with Joseph Brickey. One of her favorite projects so far was working on the Rome Temple Visitors Center mural with Joseph. Her work can be found in galleries and bookstores across Utah including Deseret Book. In addition to her studio work, she teaches art courses for Southern Virginia University, manages programming for Writ & Vision Gallery, and serves on the Board of Directors for the Dialogue Foundation. In her ward she serves as the first counselor in the Relief Society Presidency.  —Lee Correia is the artist we mentioned, and here is the print Aubrey referenced: https://ascartistry.myshopify.com/products/heavenly-mother-printTips from Esther:You choose what is displayed in your lessons and homes. We are a home centered church. Teaching the Savior's Way, the current official teacher's manual for church curriculum, urges instructors to, “Consider how using music, stories, pictures, and other forms of art can invite the Spirit, clarify gospel principles in memorable ways, and help learners relate the gospel to their everyday lives.”Buy from artists directly.Always credit art when you repost it and if you are using it for any materials/products, even if it is just for church. Check with the artist first.Find ways to support artists of color! It doesn't just have to be cash. Personal example, giving educational information and experiences freely. If you know them personally, offer to watch their kids if they are a mom artist. Donate supplies. Volunteer what skills/resources you have to help them promote their work. Volunteering to support group activities like I AM.If you are an artist, create art that is genuine to your personal experience.Deseret Books functions as a business, vote with your dollars.Write letters to decision making entities, such as the president of Deseret Book, or members of the temple art committee. Include notes on what was done well as well as what needs to improve. Remember that a little bit of strategy can go a long way and sometimes people who haven't done the work that you have to see biases in art need to be shown where they got it right as well as where they got it wrong so they know what to aim for more frequently. Have open conversations with your ward/stake leaders about what art is selected for church buildings.

HR is widely misunderstood by several employers and employees. While many people think that HR strictly enforces internal rules and has no impact on an organization's bottom line, that couldn't be further from the truth. HR exists to create value in the marketplace through your employees and your organization. Dave Ulrich came onto YAP to discuss the intricacies of HR and how business leaders can upgrade their HR practices, even if they don't have a dedicated HR department. Dave is a Distinguished Fellow in the National Academy of Human Resources and the Co-Director of Michigan's Human Resource Executive Program. He's also the co-founder of the RBL Group, which develops custom leadership, HR, and organization solutions.   In this episode, Dave and Hala dive into the purpose of HR and how strong HR practices increase profitability. Dave explains the value of psychological safety in the workplace and how it can prevent retention issues like quiet quitting. They also talk about why CEOs need to have a strong understanding of HR and how they can cultivate engagement from their employees who are working remotely.  Topics Include: - Purpose of HR - How does HR impact the bottom line?  - What does HR consist of?  - Investing in an HR leader - Keeping your employees working hard  - Combatting quiet quitting  - Psychological safety in the workplace  - Leadership as energy management  - Giving feedback  - Engagement in remote work  - Optimizing organization  - Understanding HR as a CEO  - The Leadership Code - And other topics… Dave Ulrich is a professor at the school of business at the University of Michigan. He has performed workshops for over half of the Fortune 200 and has spoken to large audiences in 90 countries.

Good afternoon lacrosse fans and thank you for reading the Utah Lax Report. This is coming later in the day since I wanted to share some important information from Intermountain Lacrosse. Let's get to it! Intermountain LacrosseI spoke with IMLAX Boys Coordinator, Collin Madsen, about his role in the organization and about the possibility of playing this season. He shared some interesting insight so please give it a listen! It sounds like we'll have to wait until later in the week to see the exact plans and then it will be up to the teams to respond. In my opinion, I think full games for the non-sanctioned high school league would be without fans and temperatures taken before games for coaches and players. For youth, I could see fans spread out but limited to 1 or 2 fans per player. News & UpdatesThe Herald Journal wrote about the Cache Valley girls programs. The Park Record profiled Park City midfielder Brady Baumann and spoke with him about committing to play at Marist. The Daily Universe wrote about the Monson sisters who star on the BYU Women's team.Inside Lacrosse published an article about The Geography of Men's DI Lacrosse. The article broke down where D-I men's lacrosse players are coming from. Players are still coming from traditional hotbeds but the article points out rises in players from Colorado, Michigan and Texas. Along with Georgia, these states produced 13% of the DI men's lacrosse freshmen in 2020. That is nearly double where those states were in 2014 (7%).Since 2014, Utah has had 25 commits. The article breaks it down by county which looks like this for Utah: 1 - Cache Valley 1 - Davis16 - Salt Lake6 - Summit 1 - UtahNote that these are Freshman on D-I teams so Josh Stout, Cam Redmond and Aaron Fjeldsted aren't counted since they weren't Freshman when Utah went D-I. In comparison, Colorado has 164 commits. Senior SpotlightsNext week is the last week that I'll publish these so please get them to me before Sunday!

Big J has a contagious laugh and a big personality; he always brightens up practice. Big J was a great leader with a big, booming voice calling for the slide. Trevor Bodily - Middie - Trevor was one of our senior captains and an offensive phenom on the field. With one of the biggest lacrosse IQ's I've had the privilege to coach, Trevor always got the ball where it needed to be for the highest percentage shot. He was also great on transition; something every coach wants: an offensive middie that causes havoc on the clear. Trevor was a phenomenal leader who mentored and took extra time to coach up his underclassmen. Maverick Douglas - Middie - This was Maverick's first year playing lacrosse. He came into the sport excited and ready to suit up. He would always be in my classroom asking questions and responding with, "that's sick, coach!" His excitement was contagious.  Maverick worked his butt off in-and-out of practice to get to the level we wanted him to play at. Lacrosse isn't an easy sport to pick up, but Maverick became a great D-middie for us that we could depend on. Brody McKinnon - Middie - Brody decided to come back to the great sport of lacrosse this year after a few years off. A standout track athlete, Brody could zoom across the field in record time. He played the wing on faceoff and never got beat off the whistle. Brody was another of our senior captains who showed his team how to play with passion. Brody's drive to win helped our team develop a competitive edge they thrived on as athletes. Brody could lay the wood, too.Mason 'Finn' Hale - Attack - Our attack captain, Finn played X and became a talented feeder from behind cage. Finn is a true student of the game and was always asking questions, drawing up scenarios, and thinking of the game from many perspectives. He loved standing by coaches to dissect the game. Finn saw lacrosse as a team sport and pushed his teammates to be better individually and as a squad.  Quincy Wildman - Attack - An All-State wrestler, Quincy came back to the game after a few years off. Humble, yet with the strength of an ox, Quincy could truck through just about any defender with ease while still cradling two-handed. Quincy never had a bad attitude; he just put his shoulder down and worked as hard as we asked him to.  An incredible teammate, Quincy can get along with just about anyone; one of those traits that coaches need but is almost impossible to teach.  Lone Peak GirlsAva Neuenschwander - Offense: Ava is extremely passionate. She fights for what she believes in, on and off the field. Ava is always focused. At practice she was always watching others and was focused on her goal of becoming a better lacrosse player. When she has a goal set, you know that she will do anything to reach that goal. Ava was one of our secret weapons. She at times would seem pretty quiet but you could see in her work ethic that she was always listening and learning and would prove that on the field. She could defend on the offensive side like no ones business. She is someone I would pick for my team 10 times out of 10. Ava plans on attending BYU in the fall.Monet Winger - Mid/Center: Monet has such an incredible spirit. She always had a smile on her face and even if she had a rough day, she was still laughing and joking and continued to be a team player. Monet didn't play just one position. She was the whole package. Monet is so fast she was incredibly hard to defeat or defend. Monet's shot was fire. It could come out of nowhere and it was pretty unstoppable. She could stop anyone on defense and she was always ready to make the assist on attack. Monet is a hard worker on and off the field. She was always hustling at practice pushing herself to the max and others, including her teammates, would see that and follow her lead. Monet always put her team first. While being busy with track, school work, and so many other things going on in her life, she always gave her team full dedication. Her team could trust her fully and that is such an amazing quality. Monet plans to attend BYU in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Brooke Galbraith - Mid/Center: Brooke is a force to be reckoned with. She pushed her limits during conditioning even when others wanted the workouts to end. She is committed to the sport that she loves. You can see this in her daily practice as she plays like it is a game and that truly pays off when it is game time. I have never seen a more dedicated player or a girl who loves the game more. Brooke pushes herself to be better in every way, and that motivation will take her so far in life. She was also someone her teammates could always count on. She was where she needed to be at exactly the right times. One of the best defenders and attackers I've ever met and Brookes shot was one of the strongest, most powerful, forceful, finesse filled shots I've ever seen. Brooke is an incredible athlete. She plans to attend Utah State in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Summer Mohowski - Center/Mid: Summer is NUTS. She's loud, constantly excited, and would bring so much spunk to the field. But she is so incredible. She has a smile that can never be copied. It's so contagious. When she wouldn't be at practice and when she would, there was always such a different vibe. She had the ability to pump up her teammates not only when they needed it, but all the time. Summer can make a whole team feel included and united so easily. She also carried that personality with her on the field. She was encouraging to every player out there and would push herself more than we could have pushed her. Despite previous injury setbacks, she continued to work hard and prove her abilities on attack and through the midfield. Like the others, she would observe, improve, and then crush her goals. She had an incredible shot, she was a brick wall on defense, and could win the draw 9 times out of 10. She was always able to channel all her energy into her field play and it worked so well for her. Summer plans on attending UVU in the fall and hopes to serve an LDS mission in the spring.Tiffany Lee - Offense: Tiff is so spunky. Even when training, practices, and our few games became tough she maintained an upbeat attitude and tried to help her teammates remain positive as well. She always has a smile on her face and is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way. She's positive, brings life to the party, is bright, energetic, funny and passionate. As much fun as she had at practice she had just as much passion for the game. Tiff has so much skill on the lacrosse field. Anyone would much rather play with her than against her. She is so fluid in the way she plays and makes it so no matter who she's playing with she makes them look good too. She was also encouraging to the coaches and would cheer us on when things would go right. Tiff plans on attending BYU in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Gwen Chandler - Defense: Gwen picked up lacrosse in the fall having transitioned from soccer and we would have never known she had never played before. Her athletic abilities are outstanding and I'm so glad she chose to make the switch. She is the type of athlete every coach wants on their team because she was always asking for things she could work on so she could get better. Gwen was killer on defense. She was one of the fastest down there. Her team could always count on her to stop the ride down the field or help push the double team. Even having been new to the sport, because of her athletic mindset and previous training, she always knew where to be and when to be there. Gwen is a fantastic player, a fantastic athlete, and she is going to be unstoppable. Gwen plans to attend Utah State in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Isabella Turner - Defense: Izzy is incredible. She is a leader at heart. Any time we asked her to do something, she'd do it. At practice, during conditioning, on the field, it didn't matter. She is more mature than her age would tell which really helped us as coaches a lot. Izzy is also an incredibly dependable leader and she always did it with a smile! She could reel the girls in when we needed them and we could rely on her at any time. Izzy is crazy talented. I don't know who taught her to play but they did a really great job. She is someone you can always count on to be where the ball is, to make the catch, to make the right pass, to defend through the midfield, etc. Just like her teammates, Izzy is a force to be reckoned with. Once you get her down on defense she is a rock, and NO ONE is getting past her. Izzy plans to attend BYU in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Park City GirlsKatherine Luebbers - Started playing in 3rd grade and has played lacrosse ever since.

HR plays a central role in keeping abreast of the constant change that organizations must undergo to survive. Having a strategy for change is critical, but with so many voices out there on how to do that, one can be easily lead astray. With that in mind, we are pleased to celebrate our 100th episode of HR Works Podcast with legendary expert Dave Ulrich. In this episode, we discuss the latest approaches towards transforming HR in a constantly changing world. For those of you unfamiliar with Dave, he is the Rensis Likert Professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and a partner at The RBL Group, a consulting firm focused on helping organizations and leaders deliver value. He studies how organizations build capabilities of leadership, speed, learning, accountability, and talent through leveraging human resources. He has helped generate award winning data bases that assess alignment between strategies, organization capabilities, HR practices, HR competencies, and customer and investor results. Dave has published over 200 articles and book chapters and over 25 books. He edited Human Resource Management 1990-1999, served on editorial board of 4 Journals, on the Board of Directors for Herman Miller, and Board of Trustees at Southern Virginia University, and is a Fellow in the National Academy of Human Resources.

As economic hardships continue to carve their mark deeper into the lives of Americans, university enrollment is declining. Richard Whitehead discusses the benefits that education has for the rising generation of youth and how Southern Virginia University has been able to battle economic hardships by providing scholarships to 90% of their students. Most universities pack students into classrooms to reduce education costs, however Southern Virginia University is taking a different approach referred to as "the genius of small." The average class size is fifteen students and each professor knows his or her students. When a class member stops attending class they are noticed and others reach out to them. Not only is the quality of education superior in comparison to other universities, but acceptance into postgraduate school is 80%. About the Guest: Richard Whitehead is the acting president & vice president of institutional advancement at Southern Virginia University. Dr. Whitehead joined the Southern Virginia staff in Aug. 2003. A strong believer in education, Dr. Whitehead spent much of his time from 1971 to 2000 associated with Dixie State College where he was co-founder and member of the National Advisory Council, president of the Alumni Association, member of the board of trustees and president of the Foundation. In 1997, he was named the executive director of institutional advancement at Dixie State College. On May 5, 2000, at the college's commencement exercises the Utah State Board of Regents awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Humanities degree. He served as president of the England Bristol and England Birmingham Missions from July 2000 to July 2003.

Cara Rector is the mother of five wonderful daughters. She has been guiding the homeschool efforts of her family since 2010, and she herself is the product of homeschooling off and on from her elementary through high school years. She has a great love for music and vocal performance. She has an associate degree in liberal arts from Southern Virginia University. I met Cara at the Latter-day Saint Home Educators conference in May where she gave a class on boundaries. She taught about the power of true boundaries and the destructive nature of false boundaries. I never knew there was a difference! Cara describes that having false boundaries is doing everything we can to protect ourselves except for being assertive and setting clear boundaries! She said it is like having a potted flower that needs water, soil, and sunshine but also needs protection from wind, predators, and pests. We want to protect the flower, so a false boundary would be to put that plant in a box to keep it away from those negative elements. Sure, it's safe from those elements, but it is not receiving the nourishment it needs to thrive. We set false boundaries when we refuse to address the real issue so we justify ourselves, we blame others, we ignore the situation, we make excuses all so we avoid addressing the real problem. I just heard a story about a friend who let her car registration expire. Rather than taking the time to update it, she was making sure to drive the speed limit, and paying extra to park in a garage instead of on the street so there was less risk of being caught with expired tags. Doesn't that sound funny? Yet, how often do we do things that feel safer so we don't have to confront the problem? How much extra stress do we create when we avoid finding a proper solution? True boundaries are about taking care of your wellbeing. You don't need to justify why you set the boundaries, and you aren't responsible for how other people feel about the boundaries you set. True boundaries allow us to grow with true connection rather than fostering resentment, jealousy, or retaliating against the person you resent.   Join the Family Success Toolkit Free Membership http://homeandfamilyculture.com

My friend Ed shares a beautiful and unique story of courageously joining the church in Rhode Island after exploring multiple religions in 2008, serving mission in California in 2009 to 2011, attending Southern Virginia University, resigned from the Church in 2016, finding a wonderful partner (still together after 4 years), attending grad school at Emerson College, and now starting to attend his local LDS congregation because of his deep belief in the Church. It’s a unique story of Ed’s person revelation of his belief in both the Church and his relationship with his partner. Thank you Ed for sharing your story. It doesn’t fit into a nice-tidy box. But I love how you are doing the best you can to stay close and be guided by God. Honored to have you share your story!

And how could a man of sincere, if evolving, Episcopal faith come to terms with the fact that hundreds of thousands of men had died under his leadership? In today’s podcast, Professor Cox steers us through these troubled times. Crawford Gribben is a professor of history at Queen’s University Belfast.

On August 2, 2018, David Cox delivered a banner lecture, “‘Keep It a Holy Thing’: Lee Chapel’s Greatest Challenge.” The chapel that Robert E. Lee built on the campus of what was then Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, almost did not survive to its 150th anniversary this year. In the early 1920s, an energetic president wanted to tear it down to create a vast monumental building to honor his famous predecessor. An unlikely combination of “a little group of willful women,” a crusading newspaper editor, alumni, and Lee aficionados from around the country managed to save it for posterity, even as they redefined its meaning in ways that abide today. David Cox, a visiting professor of history at Southern Virginia University, teaches American and religious history. An Episcopal priest, he lives in Lexington, where, from 1987 to 2000, he was rector of R. E. Lee Memorial Church. He is the author of The Religious Life of Robert E. Lee and Lee Chapel at 150: A History.

On June 1, 2017, at noon, David Cox delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "The Paradox of Robert Edward Lee." Robert E. Lee remains as controversial today as he was in his own era, in part because of the contradictions he embodied. A critic of slavery and secession, he fought for the cause that embodied each. He was the only man ever offered the command of armies that opposed each other. Deemed one of the greatest of military minds, his side still lost. Then, he became one of the chief proponents of reconciliation, yet he held serious reservations pertaining to race and reconstruction. In his book, The Religious Life of Robert E. Lee (March 2017), David Cox explores how Lee’s faith influenced his views and his actions. In this lecture, he will examine how Lee’s religious convictions guided two of his most important, if paradoxical, decisions: to resign his commission and side with Virginia in 1861, then to accept the presidency of Washington College in Lexington as a means of promoting the reconciliation he hoped to foster after the war. This latter decision in particular seemed to frame his sometimes paradoxical approach to controversies that arose in his later years. David Cox, a visiting professor of history at Southern Virginia University, teaches American and religious history. An Episcopal priest, he lives in Lexington, where, from 1987 to 2000, he was rector of R. E. Lee Memorial Church.

For the last 15 years, the wrestling program at Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, Virginia has competed in relative obscurity. While a competitive program in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA), the Knights athletic program was looking for an identity. The school, which was in the NAIA, kept wrestling on its listing of sports, but it was still a club program. SVU was also affiliated with the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association, which was formerly known as the U.S. Small College Athletic Association. The team would show up at open tournaments and have sporadic duals, but the role of the program in the varsity landscape was still uncertain.On July 8, Southern Virginia University elevated its club wrestling program to varsity status. Logan Davis, a 2009 graduate of SVU, took over the program two years ago after the previous coach was fired and the then Athletic Director was ready to axe the sport from the school's club offerings. Davis stepped up to keep the program alive.Southern Virginia cleared a few more hurdles and applied for NCAA membership and they were granted provisional membership. That set the stage for a new AD to come in and bring the program to a fully-supported athletic option at the varsity level.On Episode 77 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with Logan Davis, who is now taking a job that was once a role to keep a club sport alive, to coaching at the NCAA Division III ranks.Some of the topics Davis talks about with Southern Virginia University's program in this episode of Short Time are:Saving the wrestling club.The impact Ferrum College's program had on Southern Virginia elevating the program.Thoughts on potential new programs in Virginia at the Division III level.The school's theology, which embraces the LDS (Mormon) values.Recruiting kids at a small, private, niche school.Timeline for postseason competition and scheduling.What he and his program developed by competing with the NCWA and fledgling wrestling support from the USCAA.Short Time is sponsored by FlipsWrestling.
