Letter From Coach Jack Effner

Dear Wrestler,

I'm writing to hopefully spark your interest in Cleveland State University! Our campus is located in the heart of the city of Cleveland, Ohio. We are a state school which means we offer about every academic major available and the cost is very affordable. Presently, we have about 16,000 students enrolled with 11,000 in undergrad and 5,000 in graduate programs. We are primarily a commuter school, but most all the athletes stay right here in the campus dorm. CSU can offer a quality education with the excitement of a big city. There are many opportunities to gain internships, work study, and co-op programs which provide valuable experience needed to gain employment after graduation.

CSU hosted the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in 1998. This is a key indicator of our athletic administrations commitment to our sport. We have a top notch Division I schedule, staff and commitment to excellence. Take a closer look at the enclosed information and look for our web-site (www.csuohio.edu). We will be committed to your development as a student/athlete and you reaching your ultimate goals both academically and athletically. Please fill-out the enclosed questionnaire and return if you would like to receive more information. I hope that you will at least consider CSU as an option and give me an opportunity to educate you on what we have available. CSU building All-Americans on and off the mat!

Yours in Wrestling,
Jack Effner
