ACUI Collegiate Table Tennis

Jan-Feb 2004

From Willy Leparulo, New ACUI Table Tennis Director

I am extremely honored to take over as the new Table Tennis National Director for the Association of College Unions International (ACUI, www.acui.org).  I have been involved in college table tennis for the past four years under various capacities, including as the Recruiting Director and Florida Division Director for the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA, www.nctta.org). I have also brought several table tennis tournaments to Florida State University campus, where I currently hold the position of Academic Coordinator.  Through these personal activities, I have clearly seen a recent resurgence in college table tennis.  Therefore my main goal is to build upon that momentum and continue the rapid growth of this sector of our beloved sport.

ACUI is a nonprofit organization that encourages the students to participate in various sport activities through their respective schools’ chapters. ACUI mainly organizes two major table tennis events: singles and doubles matches, at regional and national levels.  As the ACUI Director I will try my best to connect the resources between ACUI and NCTTA, especially through the help of people who have been the biggest supporters of college table tennis.  I have already started some major planning for this coming ACUI season and will make it the best ever!  For any questions and concerns, please feel free to contact me at leparulo@lis.fsu.edu.
