In this edition of Campus Connection, I spoke with Bernadette McGlade, the new commissioner of the Atlantic 10 Conference. McGlade spent the last 11 years working in the Atlantic Coast Conference office, including serving the last nine years as associate commissioner. In addition to McGlade's numerous accolades from her days as a student-athlete at the University of North Carolina and throughout her professional career, she currently serves as the president of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA). McGlade discussed various issues in our conversation, including the transition to her new job, rewarding aspects of working in intercollegiate athletics, Title IX's impact on her life, and advice for aspiring college athletic administrators.
This discussion is part of the Double-A-Zone's series on women in conference leadership, which honors the 36th anniversary of Title IX. Look for these Campus Connections in the days ahead:
??? Julie Ruppert, Commissioner of the Northeast-10 Conference (Division II)
??? Donna Ledwin, Commissioner of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (Division III)
