CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Director Alexandra Coury has found that students start to work on leadership skills long after their personalities are formed which makes it harder for skills to improve. Alex feels that the earlier children are taught the basics skills needed to be a leader the more likely they are to take leadership roles through high school and beyond. Alex's goal is to take everyone's skills to the next level and to help them become better versions of themselves.
Alex's Background:
As a Division-I student-athlete, Alex Coury took on a large leadership role with the NCAA as a representative of nine universities to the National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In this role, Alex voiced the opinions of Division-I student-athletes to the executives of the NCAA, university presidents and college administrators. Additionally, Alex served as the sole Division-I female student-athlete representative to the Committee on Women's Athletics for two years where she advocated for the advancement of emerging sports for women and the promotion of females in athletic careers.
Professionally, Alex worked in the Department of Athletics at the University of Hartford from 2008-2013 working her way from graduate assistant to Assistant Director of Athletics in just three short years. During her time in athletics, Alex spoke at several national leadership conferences including the Conference on Gender Equity and Inclusion in San Diego, CA, the National Student-Athlete Leadership Conference, in Orlando, FL. and the NCAA Regional Women's Leadership Conference in Boston, MA.
Currently, Alex is the Program Manager for the Women's Education and Leadership Fund at the University of Hartford. Her primary responsibility is overseeing the female student leadership program including creating the four-year curriculum and acting as the lead facilitator in bi-weekly leadership training sessions.
"Alex earned an M.B.A. at the Barney School of Business at the University of Hartford. She holds a Bachelor of Science in business management with a minor in communications from the University of Hartford.
