Embry-Riddle names Franklin Pierce AD Rachel Burleson as the incoming AD for the Eagles. Embry-Riddle Senior VP of Academic Affairs and Provost Kelly Austin: "Rachel is an advocate for students both on and off the field, and we're thrilled to welcome her to campus. Embry-Riddle athletes are students first and, as evidenced by Rachel's own approach to academics — continually pursuing new degrees throughout her career — she is a lifelong learner who will lead by example." Burleson was selected as the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division II AD of the Year back in March 2024. (link)
