Kathy Anderson
Associate Athletics Director for Internal Operations
It could be said Kathy Anderson’s athletic life has come full circle. She was an All-America student-athlete at the University of Central Missouri, she’s had her number 32 retired in Jennies basketball, and is a member of the UCM Athletic Hall of Fame.
Now Anderson helps UCM student-athletes achieve their own goals, as she begins her third year at her alma mater as Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations and Senior Woman Administrator.
Anderson had served previously as Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance and Student Services at Northwest Missouri State University.
Prior to assuming her role at Northwest, Anderson served a brief stint as admission and eligibility coordinator at the University of Washington. She added those duties in the summer of 2002 to her responsibilities as operations coordinator for men's basketball for the Huskies. In addition, Anderson was assistant basketball coach in 2000 for the Seattle Storm and in 1998 for the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA.
Her coaching career began in 1980, when she was hired as assistant women's basketball coach at California State-Fullerton. She served there from 1980-85 before moving on to the University of Washington as assistant basketball coach from 1985-96, and as assistant director of basketball operations from 1996-98.
Anderson received a bachelor’s degree from UCM in 1980, graduating cum laude in physical educations and mathematics. While wearing the Cardinal & Black, she lettered four years in basketball, three years in softball, and once in track & field. In 1979-80 she was named second-team Academic All-American, and in 1980 she was honored as UCM Outstanding Senior Female Student-Athlete and Outstanding Senior in Physical Education. She also was named to the Jennies Basketball All-Decade Team for 1970-80 and the Jennies Basketball Silver Anniversary Team for 1970-95.
Anderson also serves as the chair for the Division II softball committee and as the Vice President of the MIAA.
Anderson earned a master's degree in sports administration from Seattle Pacific University in 2000.
