Lipscomb Athletics Elevates Grace Ann Miller To Associate AD For Student Success

/in /by

Lipscomb Athletic Director Philip Hutcheson has announced the expansion of Associate AD for Academics Grace Ann Miller‘s role, changing her title to Associate AD for Student Success.

The role expansion recognizes both the work that Miller is already doing beyond her academic duties and reflects the plans that Lipscomb Athletics has for continued improvements in the way they support their student-athletes.

“Grace Ann has been an outstanding member of our athletics senior leadership team since the day she arrived here,” says Hutcheson. “Her work ethic, leadership skills, willingness to serve where needed and advocacy for our student athletes are all strengths that have been a great asset to our department.”

As Associate AD for Student Success, Miller will continue to oversee everything related to academics within Lipscomb Athletics. In addition, this title change is designed to recognize Miller’s leadership for planned expansion of career services, internships, life skills training, extracurricular educational opportunities, mental wellness, CARE team interactions and nutrition.

“I am aware that the number of changes and the pace of change within the NCAA and our own department has continued to escalate,” says Hutcheson. “There is a need on the NCAA front to respond to the Transformation Committee’s call for additional student-athlete support. There is also a need on the home front for Lipscomb Athletics to respond to an evolving student population and competitive pressures. Grace Ann has already shown herself more than able and willing to lead the charge on behalf of our student-athletes and programs and I believe she will continue to help propel our programs forward as 2023-2024 witnesses us moving into our third decade of NCAA DI competition.”
