Mick Daniel
- Director of Student Life and Recreation
I have been actively involved in the field of outdoor education since 1992. I have always felt guided to teach and work in the outdoors. After my first outdoor course with the North Carolina Outward Bound School I knew I wanted to stay involved in this style of education. My passion lies in the land and the experiences gained from interacting with people and environments. I have instructed course for the North Carolina Outward Bound School and the Wilderness Education Association. I am most concerned about access issues involving public lands that Universities and Colleges use to deliver our programs.
I am currently living in Alamosa, Colorado with my wife Morgan, our two cats Gryffin and Hawkins, and our Springer Spaniel, Emma. When I can get away from the office I am mountain biking, climbing, and falling down ski hills.
