“We're excited to have each of these new board members and officers who will help lead our organization into a new era as the Red Wolf Club,” said Doug Doggett, ASU Associate Athletic Director and Director of the Indian Club.  “We rely on our officers, our board and all our members to help us advance the sports programs at Arkansas State University.”
