welcome
The Cullowhee Collective is the premier NIL Collective for Western Carolina University Athletics. It was established to assist Catamount student-athletes in cultivating and securing name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities. This collective was established by 5 passionate WCU alumni with a goal of all money collected, after required expenses, to be awarded to Catamount student-athletes. The Cullowhee Collective connects the fans, alumni, business with student-athletes looking to further their professional and personal development. NIL opportunities for the athletes include but are not limited to social media endorsements, meet & greets, autographs, appearances, digital content, and more. As a donor to the Cullowhee Collective you are helping WCU student-athletes focus on representing their school at the collegiate level without worrying about additional expenses. Additionally, as a donor you will have the opportunity to gain access to exclusive fan experiences, content, marketing opportunities, and more.
“I am honored to serve as your Director of Athletics at Western Carolina University. As the Director of Athletics, it is my responsibility to provide an outstanding student-athlete experience. The landscape of college athletics is ever-changing, and the Cullowhee Collective plays a critical role in providing Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) resources to our athletic programs as they work towards Southern Conference Championships. The Cullowhee Collective provides support to the WCU Athletic Department to allow the student-athletes to compete at the highest level.”
