Marymount University has announced that Jill McCabe will become the Saints\u2019 new Athletics Director and Assistant Vice President (AVP), overseeing 20 NCAA Division III sports<\/a> teams and holding a position on the President\u2019s cabinet.<\/p>\n

She will officially begin her duties at Marymount on Wednesday, April 7, and will replace Dr. Michael Vienna, who has held the position of Interim Athletic Director since December 2020.<\/p>\n

McCabe has served as the Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator at St. John Fisher College<\/a> in Rochester, N.Y. since 2000. During this period of significant growth and success, she provided administrative support and instrumental leadership for department growth from 13 to 25 varsity athletic programs, and an increase from 350 to nearly 700 student-athletes. She was also the College\u2019s Head Women\u2019s Soccer Coach from 2000 to 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI embrace the D-III philosophy, where the highest priority is on the quality of the student-athletes\u2019 educational experience and successful degree completion,\u201d McCabe said. \u201cMy mission is to support and develop the student-athletes to reach their full potential and prepare them to be tomorrow\u2019s leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Marymount, McCabe will provide strategic and administrative direction and oversight for all intercollegiate staff, programs, facilities and activities. She will collaborate with other University administrative offices in the recruitment and retention of student-athletes, fundraising and other resource development activities, as well as ensure compliance with all state, federal, NCAA<\/a>, Atlantic East Athletic Conference<\/a>, divisional and University regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see Jill as a perfect fit and a talented addition to our leadership group at Marymount,\u201d said Dr. Irma Becerra, President of Marymount University. \u201cHer past experiences exemplify the success you can bring to a higher educational institution when you exhibit a growth mindset, and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing her take our Athletic department to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the search and interview process, we were incredibly impressed with Jill\u2019s optimistic and positive attitude and her ability to inspire others,\u201d added Dr. William Bisset, Vice President of Enrollment Management & Student Affairs and the Chair of the search committee. \u201cThe four years that our Saints athletes are here at Marymount are so important for their development and serve as the foundation for their futures. We believe Jill will represent the spirit and vision of our institution as she mentors these student-athletes as well as coaches and athletic staff for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCabe\u2019s achievements include membership in three Hall of Fames (United Soccer League<\/a>, University of Rochester Athletics<\/a> and Smithtown High School West<\/a>). During her collegiate career, she led the Rochester Yellowjackets women\u2019s soccer team<\/a> to two NCAA Division III championships during her final two seasons. She was also a two-time inductee for the Frontier Field Walk of Fame through her title-winning experience as well as monumental community impact as a sports administrator.<\/p>\n

In 1997, McCabe received the University of Rochester\u2019s Babe Didrikson Zaharias Sports Institute Women of Achievement Award for her outstanding contributions to women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the youngest of five children, and my siblings and parents were my strongest mentors growing up,\u201d McCabe reflected. \u201cThey challenged me to be successful and to always put in the work necessary to achieve success.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCabe holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in Optical Engineering from the University of Rochester and attended Rochester Institute of Technology for a master\u2019s degree in Imaging Science. Outside of work, she enjoys running, paddle boarding and spending time with family, friends and her two dogs, Daisy and Jeter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
