Dr. Stacey Kendig enters her first year as Faculty Athletic Representative in 2025-26. Kendig was the recent Shepherd and PSAC nominee for the NCAA II Dave Pariser Faculty Mentor Award. She is a professor and Director of Recreation, Sport, and Exercise Science and is vital to the success of many Shepherd student-athletes.
Dr. Kendig goes above and beyond her day-to-day duties to make sure Shepherd student-athletes have the proper guidance. As an instructor, she focuses on how students learn differently and how to mold her teaching to those different learning styles.
