Women's History Month 2019
M. Grace Calhoun '92, Women's Track & Field
M. Grace Calhoun is in her fifth year as the Director of Athletics and Recreation at the University of Pennsylvania. In this role, Calhoun leads the University's 33 varsity athletics programs, nearly 40 club programs, and broad-based intramural and recreational offerings for students, faculty and staff. In January, Calhoun was named the incoming chair of the NCAA Division I Council, a high-level group responsible for the day-to-day decision-making for Division I. The Council is comprised of one representative from each of the 32 Division I conferences, plus several at-large representatives, and is the chief legislative body of the Division. Calhoun will also represent the Council with a seat on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors, a group comprised predominantly of college presidents with ultimate decision-making responsibility for Division I. She is the first chair from a non-Power-Five university and will begin her two-year appointment following the June meeting of the Council. A proven, impactful leader, Calhoun is passionate about the holistic development of students and the promotion of physical, mental and emotional wellness through sport participation. Calhoun's leadership was recognized by being named the 2017 Division I FCS Administrator of the Year by the Women Leaders in College Sports (formerly NACWAA) and was appointed to the NCAA Division I Council, the chief legislative body for Division I, in the same year. A track & field athlete for the Bears, Calhoun earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from Brown in 1992.
