On May 4, 2005, Prof. Nathanson was one of two faculty members honored by the LIU Department of Athletics in recognition of his “tremendous support and dedication to our student-athletes and Long Island University Athletics.”
Prof. Nathanson is President of the Institute for Academic Success of College Athletes (IASCA), a newly-formed not-for-profit corporation whose mission is to enhance the ‘student’ side of the ‘student-athlete’ role. Dr. Nathanson is also a member of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics.
