RADFORD, Va. – Radford Athletics announced Tuesday afternoon the hiring of Maggie Hinson, who will serve as the department's Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Support Services, and the promotion of Nicole Green, who will serve as the departments Associate Athletic Director for Administration.

Maggie Hinson – Associate AD for Student-Athlete Support Services
"I am so excited to be a part of Highlander nation and serve student-athletes in this role," commented Hinson. "I look forward to collaborating with campus partners, athletic administration, coaches, and staff to provide a first-class experience for Radford student-athletes."

Hinson brings with her a strong background of commitment to student-athlete success across the country. For the past two years, she was the Director of Transition/Academics with Liberty University and the Liberty Football program. While there, she led end-to-end onboarding for all incoming freshman and transfer student-athletes, streamlining the process across admissions, financial aid, housing and NCAA compliance.

With Liberty, Hinson was a key operations liaison between academic affairs, financial services, student accounts and residence life to ensure seamless transitions and support for over 100 student-athletes. She also managed housing placements, executed scholarship and roster change documentations, oversaw team logistics for recruit visits, spearheaded development of community engagement, monitored class attendance and academic performance, and created and distributed weekly academic performance reports to coaching staffs.

Prior to her time with the Flames, Hinson spent 2018-22 with Coastal Carolina working her way up first as an Academic Advisor, then as a Senior Athletic Academic Advisor and eventually into a role as Associate Director for Student Athlete Academic Services. While there she oversaw academic support for the football and indoor volleyball programs.

From 2013-18, Hinson made various stops working in academic support departments at Mississippi State, Missouri and Memphis. She got her start right here in the New River Valley, though, beginning her career as a tutor and mentor at Virginia Tech from 2009-12.

Nicole Green – Associate AD for Administration
"I would like to thank Director of Athletics Robert Lineburg for his confidence in me with this opportunity," commented Green. "It is an honor to serve Radford Athletics in this capacity, and I look forward to contributing to the continued success of our department. Go Highlanders!"

Green is entering her ninth year with Radford Athletics and her first as Associate Athletics Director for Administration after serving the previous eight years as Administrative Services Manager. In this enhanced leadership role, she works closely with the Director of Athletics as part of the senior leadership team, providing strategic oversight of departmental operations. Nicole serves as the primary liaison to campus departments including Human Resources, Finance, and Risk Management, while also playing a vital role in budget planning and providing day-to-day administrative support. She additionally holds sport oversight responsibilities for the women's softball program.

Before returning to Radford, Nicole worked at Virginia Tech as an Operations Assistant in the Department of Crop & Soil Environmental Sciences and previously as a Human Resources Assistant with Creative Family Solutions, Inc. in Christiansburg.

A proud Radford alumna, she graduated in 2012 with a degree in Exercise, Sport and Health Education with a concentration in Sports Administration. She and her husband, Jason, reside in Christiansburg, with their daughter, Emma.
