Campus Champion

Junior Nicholas Swaha is pursuing a sport management degree, works for the Recreational Sports and Athletics departments, and officiates high school and college games. An official since high school, he’s focused on professional umpire training school before grad school. “Nick’s attention to his craft is incredible for a young man his age,” said Matthew Nuesell, assistant director for intramural sports and sport clubs. “Not only does he officiate at a high level for our intramural sports, but he is a board-certified baseball umpire who is regularly assigned to college-level games.” Register now for intramural sports and you’ll cross paths with two-time Intramural Sports Program’s Official of the Year.
