Why Dean Chose Butler: "I chose Butler because it had everything I wanted in a school. From its distinguished academic reputation, to its PA program, to its competitive and successful soccer program, to the small class sizes and beautiful, compact campus, I knew I would fit in from the moment I arrived. The coaches were also a factor in my decision as I can foresee the athletic and personal investment they will make in each player to help them develop for life after college."
