12/7/2009 | Athletics
OXFORD, Miss. -- After nine years of excellent service to Ole Miss Athletics, Karen Yelverton is leaving the UMAA Foundation to become the development director for the Ole Miss Business School, effective Dec. 14.
"It was a pleasure building relationships with so many great Rebel fans and supporters over the last nine years," said Yelverton. "I hope to maintain these lasting relationships as I shift from athletics to the Business School."
A former Ole Miss volleyball letterwinner, Yelverton joined the Foundation in May of 2000, after serving as a graduate assistant in women's administration at Ole Miss in 1999-2000.
As the Associate Director, Yelverton has overseen annual giving funds, including the football, men's basketball and baseball priority seating programs. She was also responsible for allocating all donor seating and parking benefits for home events.
