Nicki Moore has been hired by UNC as a Senior Associate Athletics Director, the university announced earlier this week.

Moore has been an 11-year member of the University of Oklahoma’s athletics leadership team and is currently in her third year serving as the Sooners’ Senior Associate AD for Student Life and Strategic Planning. She is also the Senior Woman Administrator; a role she will also hold at Carolina.

Dr. Beth Miller has filled that role during her time with the university over the last 41 years, but Miller announced her retirement in March.

Moore was a four-time captain on track-and-field and cross-country teams at the University of Missouri before graduating in 1996. Moore earned a Master’s Degree in counseling psychology in 1998 and a Doctorate in Philosophy in 2002. All three of her degrees are from UM.
