– Todd Day, Sr., Men’s Basketball Coach and Jennelle Primm, Director of Marketing & Public Relations for Philander Smith College (PSC) came to tell us what’s going on with the Panthers Men’s basketball team and additional college events. Coach Day is in his first season leading PSC’s men’s basketball team. He previously served as a high school, AAU, and semi-pro coach for the last ten years. The Panther Men’s basketball team is learning about servitude and the importance of volunteering & getting involved. The team in conjunction with the Athletic Department has connected with the Nehemiah House, a part of the Union Rescue Mission that centers on the homeless, addicted and disadvantaged men of Central Arkansas. Donations of paper products were given to the organization for the homeless community. Admission to a recent men and women’s basketball game was free with an unopened roll of paper towels or toilet paper. Eleven bags of paper products were donated. The team has volunteered at the organization and thought of another way to give back was with the paper product donation. Men from the Nehemiah House have been to several games to support the Men’s basketball team. Coach Day wants the athletes to know that life is not just about basketball. He says that it’s very important to teach them about service to the community.
Last month Philander named a new Athletic Director, Nathan Cochran a native of Bolder, Colorado who’s goals are to enhance and expand the athletic programs and to ensure that PSC athletes are successful not only in competition, but also as scholars and well-rounded individuals.
