Men’s volleyball head coach Patrick Johnston said one thing about his team and the players on it, that holds true for many of Fanshawe’s athletes and the hard work they’ve put in representing the school:

“The hope is that when they put that jersey back down, that they leave it in a better place than when they’d first picked it up.”

We wish the best for all athletes and are eager to see what they accomplish at Fanshawe and beyond.
