College Sports Information Directors of America

JACKSON, Miss. – Millsaps athletic director Tim Wise announced today the hiring of Stacy Podelski, who will serve as the first ever full-time sports information assistant under sports information director Kevin Maloney. She will officially begin on August 1.

Podelski comes to Millsaps from Brooklyn College, in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she spent four years as an assistant sports information director and most recently the Senior Women’s Administrator and Assistant Director of Recreation, Intramurals and Athletics for 10 Division III sports. Podelski’s first three years at BC were as the assistant SID in charge of updating and maintaining six websites and assisting with press releases, game-day programs and StatCrew software.

Podelski has also worked as a freelance writer for Latino Sports Venture, covering multiple games for the New York Yankees and Mets, served as a freelance assistant to the SID at Long Island University and New York University and fulfilled an internship in media relations with the New Jersey Devils.

With a wide variety of experience from College to Professional, Podelski will likely be the primary contact for four or five sports of Millsaps’ 14 intercollegiate athletic programs, including volleyball, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country and softball. She will also travel with the teams per the coach’s request.

“Having Stacy join the staff with so much experience is a huge asset to the entire athletic department,” Maloney said. “Her knowledge of all StatCrew programs and the day-to-day duties of a sports information department were the main reason she was the top choice among a handful of strong applicants. I think she will be a great fit here and will make this department one of the best in Division III.”

A graduate of Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., Podelski earned a bachelor of science in Communications and Sports Journalism in 2003 where she was a two-time member of the Dean’s List.
