A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending Dr. Charles F. McClelland on his outstanding service; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Dr. Charles F. McClelland has served as the Commissioner of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) since 2018, providing visionary leadership to a conference that now includes 12 member institutions across six states competing at the NCAA Division I level; and

WHEREAS, under his leadership, the SWAC has grown through the additions of Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman as well as through the purchase of a permanent office space to serve as its headquarters; and

WHEREAS, prior to his tenure with the SWAC, he served as Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics at Texas Southern University, where he oversaw significant improvements in athletic facilities, academic progress rates, and student-athlete graduation rates as well as secured television broadcasting deals and a multi-million-dollar apparel partnership with Under Armour; and

WHEREAS, he previously served as Athletics Director at Prairie View A&M University, where he led the program to 18 championships and played a pivotal role in revitalizing the football program, culminating in the team's first winning season in over 30 years; and

WHEREAS, Dr. McClelland's contributions to collegiate athletics have earned him national recognition, including the AstroTurf Athletics Director of the Year Award in 2007—the first SWAC Athletic Director to receive this prestigious honor; and

WHEREAS, his service extends beyond athletics through his involvement with the Prairie View A&M University National Alumni Association, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., the Rotary Club of Birmingham, and numerous NCAA leadership committees; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments of this remarkable and distinguished individual be appropriately recognized.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize and commend Dr. Charles F. McClelland for his exceptional leadership and his many exemplary contributions to collegiate athletics as well as extend the most sincere best wishes for continued success.
