Winslow Coming To Town

With apologies to former NFL veteran Casey Cramer '04, the best tight end to ever set foot on the Dartmouth campus will be in town Tuesday. That's a safe bet because Kellen Winslow has to be in any conversation about the best tight end in NFL history.

Winslow will be speaking about wellness Tuesday at Dartmouth Hall from 4:30-5:30 p.m.

Selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1995 and the College Football Hall in 2002, Winslow starred for the San Diego Chargers from 1979-87. He had been an All-America selection at Missouri and went on to earn his JD at the University of San Diego School of Law.

From the announcement of his visit:
Winslow frequently speaks with college students about how lifestyle choices they make in college impact their personal health and their ability to get succeed after college.
Winslow has served as director of athletics and wellness at Central State University in Ohio where, the Dartmouth release notes, he "created health intervention programs designed to foster academic success and a more active and healthy lifestyle for all students."

He recently stepped down as vice president for athletics and wellness at Lakeland College in Wisconsin.
