"We are excited to have Kim join our compliance and student-athlete affairs staff," said Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance and Student Services Kristy Bannon Sromovsky. "She has the experience, both as a member of a compliance staff as well as being a former student-athlete, to come in and hit the ground running."  Â
