Veleck said they are excited about the Collegiate Ultimate Frisbee tournament with around 20 teams participating.
“We’re talking about a great opportunity in conjunction with the study, to kind of meld that with the work we’re doing to see how we really can be impactful, not only serving our community first and foremost but also making a big push into the sports tourism space,” said Veleck.
That tournament is on Saturday, February 8, and on Sunday, February 9.
