AIKEN, S.C.--Lindsey McNeil has been named USC Aiken’s Assistant Sports Information Director, the University announced on Wednesday. McNeil will begin her internship next week, taking over for Kevin Britton, who served as Assistant SID for the previous three years before accepting a position earlier this month at Murray State University, an NCAA Division I member of the Ohio Valley Conference.

McNeil, an East Lansing, Mich. native, graduated this May from Michigan State University with her Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Communication and Public Relations. During her time at MSU, McNeil served as an undergraduate teaching assistant in the Department of Communication as well as working as a Spartan Aide for the football program.

“I am very excited to be joining the athletic staff at USC Aiken and look forward to contributing to growing Pacer Athletics,” said McNeil. “I foresee much success in athletics at USCA and look forward to becoming part of the campus community.”

In addition to her time at Michigan State, McNeil gained valuable event planning experience while serving as an intern in the Granholm for Governor Committee Office last summer. Jennifer Granholm is the current Governor of Michigan.

“I am excited to welcome Lindsey on board in the USC Aiken sports information office,” said Brad Fields, Assistant AD for Communications, now in his seventh year as head of the sports information department. “During her interview process, Lindsey showed she was a natural fit for the athletic department. Her enthusiasm, passion for college athletics, and desire to work with the student-athlete will be an asset to the University.”

USC Aiken is a proud member of the NCAA Division II and the Peach Belt Conference and is the home of the defending back-to-back NCAA Division II Men’s Golf National Champions.
