Andrea Seger served as the director of women’s athletics at Ball State from 1983-95 under the school’s split department system. In January 1995, after a 12-year tenure heading the women's athletics program, the university combined its men's and women's programs and selected Seger as the director of athletics for its newly combined program.
Her appointment made her one of only four women in the country to oversee a combined NCAA Division I-A athletics department and the first female to oversee all sports in Ball State history.
During Seger's tenure, the women’s athletics programs captured 45 Mid-American Conference championships, including regular season, division and tournament titles. The men’s programs added 27 championships during her seven-year term as director of athletics. In total, Seger guided athletics programs to 72 conference crowns.
While serving as the director of athletics, Ball State boasted graduation rates in the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and was named a FBS Champs Program of Excellence.
Prior to being named the school’s women’s athletics director in 1983, Seger spent eight years as an assistant professor and assistant athletics trainer at BSU.
Seger has a bachelor's degree from Cortland State University and a master's degree from Indiana State University. She served for eight years on the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification and four years on the NCAA Division I Management Council. She retired from Ball State in 2002.
She was inducted into the Ball State Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Cortland State Hall of Fame and received a Lifetime Award from the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA) in 2010 after serving as the interim executive director.
During the fall of 2004, Seger joined Alden and Associates, an athletics search and consulting firm, as a senior associate counsel focusing on feasibility studies, Title IX reviews, compliance reviews and strategic planning.
