"I am pleased to announce the hiring of Stephanie Fuller, who will serve as the Athletic Support Coordinator," said Dr. Rob Barnhill. "Stephanie will oversee the day-to-day administrative support needs of the department, as well as being our Spirit Squad Coordinator/Head Dance Coach. We were delighted to have someone of Stephanie's background apply for the position, and her skill set allowed us to make some strategic changes in the way we operate. This hire will allow our dancers and cheerleaders to have a full-time, on-campus point of contact and should elevate our game day experience and competitive culture within our spirit squads. Stephanie will also have the opportunity to build upon the foundation laid by those before her in the administrative support area as she provides vital services for our department."

Fuller comes to Concordia from the University of Tennessee.
