Bio 

Brett Cope began his career in 1991 as an athletic trainer, where he developed a strong foundation in sports medicine and athlete care. His leadership and dedication led him to serve as both assistant athletic director and sports information director, roles in which he contributed significantly to the growth and visibility of the athletic program. During this time, Cope also founded the women’s golf program and served as the head women’s golf coach for seven years, guiding the team through its formative seasons, winning four conference championships. 
 
Following his years in athletics, Cope transitioned to the Department of Health and Physical Education, continuing his commitment to student learning and program development.
