Succeeding Bianca Jones, who  left to plan for the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Mustafa’s decision to apply for the position was prompted by his pursuit to work within an athletic environment. F. “It’s never been a secret that I wanted to work in sports management,” Mustafa said.

On the verge of completing his Masters Award (MA) in sports management, Mustafa believes he will gain more experience through his change in position.

Mustafa hopes that his position change will allow him to understand various components of working in the athletics department. “I hope to understand the workings of the athletics department… and learn more about different sports that I have yet to be exposed to,” Mustafa said.
