ATHELETIC DIRECTOR Amber Burdge was named the Athletic Director in July of 2011. She comes to Neosho County Community College from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX, where she was named Assistant Athletics Director for Student Services in 2007, and was responsible for administration of the student services support for SFA’s 17 athletic programs. Since she came on board at SFA, Burdge saw 54 student-athletes named to Academic All-Southland Conference teams, with 17 earning First Team designation and nine named to Academic All-District teams. In her tenure, SFA student-athletes represented on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll have increased over 50% to 96, and lead the conference as recent as Fall 2009. Burdge came to Nacogdoches from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, where she spent the 2006-07 year serving as the assistant athletics director for academics and the senior woman administrator. During her time in Corpus Christi, Burdge monitored the academic progress of all studentathletes, while coordinating academic support services for the men's and women's basketball teams. Burdge helped increase the number of Islander athletes on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll grow from 12 to 58 from Fall 2006 to Spring 2007 and saw nine student-athletes named to All Academic Teams, two being first team. She also participated in the NCAA Champs/Life Skills Program for Islander athletics, as well as handling administrative responsibilities for the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. Prior to her stay in Corpus Christi, Burdge spent the previous year at Cleveland State University serving as the athletic academic advisor for men's and women's basketball and at-risk studentathletes. Under her guidance, the Viking men’s basketball team was able to achieve the highest team GPA in recorded program history. Burdge has also spent a combined six years working for academic services at Oklahoma State. During her time in Stillwater, Burdge served as a mentor for the OSU Academic Services for Student-Athletes, as well as helping oversee the academic progress of the student-athletes and assisting in the Innovative Education course.

The men’s programs regulated by the conference include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor/outdoor track and field, rodeo, soccer, tennis and wrestling. The KJCCC-regulated women’s programs include basketball, cross country, dance, golf, indoor/outdoor track and field, rodeo, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
