Episode No. 9 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series features Missy Conboy, the senior deputy director of athletics and a 38-year veteran of the Notre Dame Athletic Department staff. She was a 1982 graduate of the university, serving as a captain for the women's basketball team during her senior year. As a member of the athletic department, she has overseen several projects across campus, including the Irish Athletics Center for the football team and the Campus Crossroads Project. Conboy is also the liaison for the Athletic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees and the Faculty Athletics Board. In the past, she has served on several ACC and NCAA Committees, including a nine-year term on the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions. She also represents the University as the Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Athletics and is the sport administrator for the volleyball program. The conversation also delves into Notre Dame's "Cheer Her Name" initiative, which aims to recognize 50 years of women's varsity athletics. Ultimately, Conboy's résumé could be several pages long because she has been involved in almost everything that has gone on in athletics at Notre Dame for almost 4 decades.
