The Vision.
The Coaches.
The Plan.
The Coaches Corner Tour is an exclusive opportunity to sit down with Director of Athletics Eric Burns and Head Coaches Tory Woodbury, Tierra Terry, and Jay Butler — face to face, in your city.
Hear directly about our vision for the program, our priorities for 2026–27, and how your support helps make it all possible.
This is a conversation — and every seat matters.
“At WSSU, athletics is the front porch of our institution — reflecting our pride, tradition, and unwavering commitment to excellence.”
