OXFORD, Miss. Ole Miss Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academic Support Karen Schiferl recently received the Distinguished Service Award at the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A) Awards Luncheon presented by the NFL Player Development Department.
The award honors leadership in performance in N4A at the regional or national level and contributions above and beyond the normal service required by positions of leadership. An individual must have five continuous years of N4A membership for eligibility.
The N4A is a diverse organization of service professionals who promote the integrity of their profession by providing guiding principles and quality services to support one another as they share information, resources and expertise in their efforts to empower student-athletes to become more productive individuals through educational and personal development.
Schiferl is in her fifth year at Ole Miss and oversees all aspects of the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support. She served on the Executive Board of the N4A in 2007 and is also a member of the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) and the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS).
Recently Schiferl served on the editorial board for Houghlin-Mifflin's Becoming a Master Student-Athlete. In addition, in 2007 she was selected as an instructor for the inaugural online course, "Academic Reform and the Student-Athlete", a joint venture of NACADA and the NCAA.
