Igo Promoted to Senior Women's Administrator

LEXINGTON, Va. ? VMI has promoted Elizabeth Igo to the position of Senior Women's Administrator (SWA), as announced Thursday by Athletic Director Donny White. Igo will replace outgoing SWA Sherry Baucom, who has accepted a teaching and coaching position at nearby Rockbridge County High School (Va.).
 
“I am happy that we had an excellent candidate, Elizabeth Igo “in-house”, to replace Sherry Baucom as SWA and Academic Advisor to Athletics,” offered White. “Elizabeth has performed very well in tickets, marketing, and game management during her four years in the VMI Athletic Department.  Moving to the SWA position should be a natural fit for her, and should be a positive for our coaches and female athletes as well.”

Igo was promoted from the position of Assistant A.D. for Facilities and Game Management, a title placed upon her at the beginning of the 2008-09 academic year. She has also served roles in ticketing and compliance during her four years at VMI, and will now move into a role more academically oriented. Igo is a 2003 graduate of Washington & Lee, and recieved a Masters degree in Sports Leadership from Virginia Commonwealth.

“I am excited to work closely with our cadet-athletes in the academic realm,” stated Igo. “This is a great opportunity to utilize my background in athletics and familiarity with the demands of VMI to help athletes and facilitate communication with both coaches and faculty.”

Igo will replace Sherry Baucom, who had served in the position for the past four years. Baucom had also served on the Big South Conference Board of Administrators and Council of Senior Woman Administrators, VMI Athletic Council and been an advisor to VMI Student Athlete Advisory Committee at various points during her time as SWA.

“Sherry Baucom was a terrific employee.  She worked well with our students and cared deeply for not only their academic and athletic achievements but for all areas of their lives,” said White. “She will be greatly missed.”
