MLI is a new program under the umbrella of the John McLendon Foundation. It is a coach-driven program to create access to and opportunity for meaningful employment experience for minority candidates - known as MLI Future Leaders - and enhancing their career options. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree to apply.

• Beginning August 1st, 2020, all Future Leader positions will be available for applications.
• All postings will have a thorough description of the specific job duties at each respective athletics department.
• Positions are uniquely created and tailored to the needs of the respective athletic department and expected to be in but not limited to the following fields: Business Operations, Communications, Compliance, Equipment, Facilities, Finance, Donor & Gifting, Game Management, Human Resources, Marketing, Team-Specific Roles, Ticketing, and Video & Content Creation.
