Campbell-McGovern promoted to Deputy Executive Director

PRINCETON, N.J. – July 1, 2009 marks a new day for the Ivy League as Robin Harris takes over the reins as the second full-time Executive Director of The Council of Ivy Group Presidents, replacing Jeffrey H. Orleans.

"I am excited to work closely with all eight Ivy institutions to implement the priorities of the Presidents and to continue the successes of the Ivy League athletics as the League moves into its next phases," said Harris.

Harris comes to the Ivy League Office after working the past seven years at Ice Miller, LLP, where she served senior counsel and co-chair for the firm's Collegiate Sports Practice. Prior to Ice Miller, Harris worked nine years in increasingly responsible roles at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) national office, ending her tenure as associate chief of staff for Division I. A graduate of the Duke University School of Law, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, also from Duke.

She replaces Orleans, who retired after 25 distinguished years as Executive Director. Though retiring, Orleans will be still involved on a two-year sabbatical as a special advisor to the Council working on various projects.

In her first act as Executive Director, Harris announced the promotion of Carolyn Campbell-McGovern to Deputy Executive Director, effective immediately. Campbell-McGovern has been a mainstay in the Ivy Office since 1993 as Senior Associate Director, assisting with the management the League’s activities for its 33 varsity sports and overseeing the League’s compliance and governance programs. She was named the 2009 Administrator of the Year by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association for her excellence in athletic administration.
