Selected as a Champion Beyond the Game in 2016

Vanessa Fuchs has a long standing history with Florida State University. She played for the FSU women's basketball team from 1997-2001. The former student-athlete graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor's degree in communications at Florida State and earned her master's degree from the University of North Carolina in sport administration. Fuchs started her working career as a Championships intern for the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2001. Prior to returning to FSU, Fuchs spent seven years at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in Indianapolis. In 2007, her extensive knowledge of NCAA legislation, interpretations, and the NCAA's governance process earned her a promotion to Associate Director of Academic and Membership Affairs. Since joining the FSU Athletics staff in 2010, Fuchs has focused her time on student-athlete welfare, gender equity, ethnic diversity, and Title IX. In June of 2013, Fuchs was named the school's interim Athletics Director and became the first woman to lead the Seminoles' Athletic Department. As a member of the department's executive leadership team, Fuchs has direct oversight of Women's Basketball, Indoor Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Sports Medicine, Strength & Conditioning, Compliance, and Student Services while also chairing the sport administrator group responsible for day-to-day administrative support for each of FSU's 20 sports. In 2015, Fuchs was appointed to serve on the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Committee after completing a four-year term on the Board of Directors for the National Association for Athletic Compliance (NAAC). In June of 2015, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators named Fuchs the DI FBS Administrator of the Year. Fuchs was once a student-athlete, now she is a role model for Florida State University's student-athletes.
