2017-18 BTC Calendar: Mike Battle

Former student-athlete and current JMU Board of Visitors member Mike Battle knows the important link between athletics and academics. Acting on that conviction, Mike, his wife, Cecelia, and their family made a $600,000 commitment to create momentum for the new JMU Convocation Center and to support experiential learning opportunities for student-athletes. Mike, the CEO of Battle Resource Management Inc., says their gift was structured “to benefit the student- athletes’ progression to their professional career, to benefit the university’s efforts to achieve its highest level of visibility ... and to show it is important to bring academics and athletics together.”
