In November 2017, when UTSA announced that Lisa Campos would be the school's new athletic director, university President Taylor Eighmy said, "By all measures, she's a star on the rise."
Five and a half years later, that glowing assessment looks like a considerable understatement. Campos, a Colorado native who is one of the few Latina college athletic directors in the country, has, among other things, overseen unprecedented success in the university's still-young football program, helped expand community support for UTSA sports and guided the development of a $40 million state-of-the-art athletic facility.
On tonight's show, she'll talk about how she got to this point and where she hopes to take the UTSA athletic program.
