Former Athlete Spotlight

Diane McMahon Q & A with Diane McMahon Swimming & Cheerleading - 1967-1971 How do you feel that your experiences as a student-athlete at the University at Buffalo prepared you for life after college? The late 60’s was a tumultuous time with issues such as the Vietnam War, civil rights and a social revolution in music, media and cultural values causing political and social unrest in our nation. That mood was reflected at UB where a significant number of students held athletics in low regard as opposed to the ongoing political and social debate. As a student-athlete at UB, I was part of a supportive group who did not agree with this view. We believed that athletics was, and always will be, an important part of campus and alumni life. Fortunately, our view of university life has again returned to our national campuses. But being at UB during that time, I learned the importance of defining yourself and your friends by your beliefs and values. Standing up for what you believe in, whether politically, socially or athletically, even if it is not a popular view at the time. It was a great life lesson to learn at a young age, and it has served me well in the years after UB. Read More from Diane McMahon Read More Former Athlete Spotlights
