In Michelle Meadow’s 17-year career at Longwood University, she relished her time helping student-athletes.  She worked her way up from assistant athletic director for compliance to LU's athletic director.  As a four-year starter on the Virginia Tech women’s softball team, she was elected to the Hokie’s Hall of Fame in 2010.  The three time Academic All-American is now the Vice President and Chief Operations Officer for the National Junior College Athletic Association. 

Joe Kaminski first came to Longwood in 2014 as the Athletic Events and Game Operations Manager and returned a year later as the Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing Operations.   In July 2023, he left the Colonial Athletic Association to reunite with Jeff Bacon, ASUN Conference commissioner.  In this episode, Joe talks about his 15 years in athletics administration, conference realignment in the CAA, and his new adventure with the ASUN as Senior Associate Commissioner for Sports Administration.
