Hi, I’m Eric Piernas Jr., the Assistant Director of Intramural Sports at the University of Louisville. I’ve been part of the Cardinal community since 2015—first as a student, and now as a full-time staff member since 2019. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Performance, completed a Master’s in Sport Administration, and most recently finished my MBA here at UofL.
Throughout my time at the university, I’ve been fortunate to work closely with students in areas like leadership, personal development, and campus recreation. I'm passionate about creating inclusive, engaging spaces where students can grow, challenge themselves, and make meaningful connections.
Advice for LLC/TC Students:
Get involved early and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. The people you meet and the experiences you have in your community can shape your entire college journey. Ask questions, be curious, and build relationships—you never know where they’ll take you. And remember, you’re not alone in this. I’m here to support you however I can.
