HAMILTON, N.Y. (6/25/10) - Colgate University senior associate athletics director and senior woman administrator Vicky Chun recently completed the 18-month-long NCAA Fellows Leadership Development Program and was asked to speak at their graduation at NACDA held in Anaheim, Calif.

Chun was one of twelve men and women to complete the program after being identified as an individual with exceeding potential to one day lead an athletics department or athletics conference office.

Chun’s primary responsibilities include overseeing corporate sponsorship, marketing and promotions, and personnel management for athletics. She also serves as the administrative liaison for Daktronics Sports Marketing, ECAC Hockey and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. She was recently named the chair of the Patriot League Sports Management Committee. In addition, Chun has administrative duties and supervision of men's lacrosse, women's ice hockey, and volleyball. Chun will serve on the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship starting this fall.

The NCAA Fellows Leadership Development Program was created with the specific goal of enhancing the employment and leadership opportunities for women and racial/ethnic minorities at the senior management level of intercollegiate athletics administration. The 18-month program provides individuals with academic and practical work experiences that will enable them to develop their talents and abilities and mesh those skills with their career aspirations. The program is designed to foster leadership within intercollegiate athletics and relate to the participants how athletics fits within the total academic experience.
