Chelsey Chamberlain, associate director of communication for the athletic department, has been named the College Sports Information Directors of America Rising Star award winner for Division I schools.
“I am extremely honored to be receiving this award,” Chamberlain said. “There are so many people that have been a part of this journey and I can't thank them enough for the opportunities they have given me.”
Chamberlain is responsible for handling communications involving men’s basketball, softball and the spirit squad. Last July, she made Lobo history by becoming the first female to oversee the men’s basketball program.
In the 12-year history of the CoSIDA award, Chamberlain became the fifth woman in Division I to receive it, as well as the first female from a school in the Mountain West Conference.
