Champions Advisory Board

Champions Advisory Board

The Champions Advisory Board was formed by Heather Lyke in 2018 to advise, assist and provide feedback to her executive team on critical department initiatives.

This Board is comprised of alumni, corporate stakeholders, Pitt parents, philanthropists, former student-athletes and thought leaders. By supporting the bold vision of the Athletic Department, the Board enhances opportunities and bolsters the Pitt experience for student-athletes through their work.

They are Champions for our region, our student-athletes, our coaches and the University.
