What They're Saying About Terry Gawlik:
Barry Alvarez – Director of Athletics, University of Wisconsin
"I'm thrilled for Terry. She has been an asset to Wisconsin Athletics for 25 years and now she will bring her energy, talents and integrity to this leadership role at Idaho.

She is a great match for this position and I am confident she will do an outstanding job."
 
Jim Delany – Commissioner, Big Ten Conference
"I would like to congratulate Terry on this exciting opportunity. She has made a significant impact at Wisconsin over the past 25 years, while establishing a well-deserved reputation as a respected administrator, both locally and nationally, through committee service and active leadership on policy issues across multiple sports. Her extensive background as a student-athlete, coach and administrator will serve her well in this new role. She is a terrific choice to lead Idaho intercollegiate athletics into the future. I wish her the best of luck."
 
Cheryl Bailey – Former Executive Director of National Women's Soccer League and General Manager of United States Women's Soccer National Team
"Terry is the consummate professional who has provided leadership to both coaches and student-athletes allowing all to achieve their full potential.  She fully embraces the student-athlete experience and works tirelessly to make sure that those she works with succeed with honesty and integrity."
 
Sheila McGuirk – Former Faculty Athletics Representative, University of Wisconsin
"I met Terry Gawlik when I was appointed to the Athletic Board in 2004 and I worked with her very closely for 10 years, serving two terms on the Board with an additional two-year extension as the university's Faculty Athletic Representative. As an Associate Athletic Director, Terry distinguished herself by getting to know every member of the board by name, interest and skill set. In a time when the student side of athletics was believed to be overlooked, neglected or forgotten, Terry earned trust from all members of the board by being consistent, authentic, dedicated, extremely capable and deeply connected across all sports. Her integrity, values and hands-on work style have endeared her to all of us in Wisconsin, who will miss her dearly. That said, we are all taken in by her excitement and enthusiasm for a new beginning in an incredible location, filled with amazing potential and great opportunity!"
