HILTON HEAD, S.C. – UNC Asheville Chancellor Mary K. Grant will serve as the Big South Conference President for the next two years.

The official announcement of the new Executive Officers in the league was made by Big South Conference Commissioner Kyle Kallander on Friday, June 2, as the meeting of Chief Executive Officers concluded the annual spring meetings.

"She's already shown great leadership in the league over the short couple of years that she's been at UNC Asheville," Kallander said from the spring meetings. "We're excited to have her at the helm."

Grant is really excited to have the opportunity to continue to build the league over the coming years.

"I'm looking forward to continuing to build upon our strategic brand to strengthen the conference and to see how we can continue to turn the Big South into the strongest Division I athletics conference," Grant said from the spring meetings.

UNC Asheville Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone knows that the league will definitely continue to grow with Grant as President of the Executive Officers.

"I have the privilege to work with Chancellor Grant daily, and I know that she will strive to make the Big South the best it can be under her watch," Cone said. "She passionately believes that college athletics can be a high-impact experience within higher education."
