Averett College officials seek local athletic talent while maintaining academic standards. Ed Seaver and Dr. Joyce Weiblen praise expanded NCAA recognition for men’s basketball and soccer and intensify outreach to high schools in Danville, Martinsville and Pittsylvania County. Local athletes are a priority as Averett aims to offer closer student relationships and avoid treating prospects as “little fish in a big bowl.”
