The University of Windsor has named a new director of athletics.
Stephanie White will take on the role starting on May 30.
“I am excited for the opportunity to join the University of Windsor and Lancer Athletics,” said White. “Based on the passion of the student-athletes, coaches, staff and the Windsor-Essex community, I know we can build something special. The goal is to create a program that boasts an exceptional student-athlete experience, complemented by the new Toldo Lancer Centre, building a program that will develop the next champions in sport, in the classroom, and in the community.”
White has held similar positions at Western University and Vancouver Island University.
“Stephanie is a champion for positive student-athlete experiences, performance excellence, and for promoting a culture of belonging,” said Dr. Linda Rohr, Dean of the Faculty of Human Kinetics. “With considerable leadership experience within U SPORTS and other high-performance programs, including Hockey Canada, Stephanie recognizes the commitment needed for sport excellence and is well prepared to lead our Lancer programs.”
White currently sits on the OUA women in sport committee, the U SPORTS STSC women’s hockey committee, while also serving as the chair on the Hockey Canada female policy committee and a member of the BC Hockey board of directors.
White takes over the role from Mike Havey who will be retiring after being in the position since 2013.
