NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Kimberly K. Gallow, associate director of athletics and senior woman administrator for the past 20 months, is leaving XULA for a senior-level position at the University of New Orleans.
        UNO announced Wednesday the hiring of Gallow as associate athletic director for operations and capital projects. Gallow will begin her duties at the NCAA Division I member May 12.
        "Kim was a great addition to our leadership team here at Xavier," said Jason Horn, assistant vice president for student affairs/director of athletics. "Her entrepreneurial spirit has really elevated some of our programs and created new ones. Tim Duncan and the University of New Orleans made a solid selection and will truly enjoy having Kim Gallow as part of their team. She will be missed at 1 Drexel Drive."
        Horn also said: "Kim is a rising star in college athletics."
        Gallow will serve on UNO's executive team and oversee all capital projects, operations, event management, championships, sports medicine and sports performance. She will be the sport administrator for indoor volleyball, beach volleyball and the spirit squads.
        XULA is conducting a nationwide search to replace Gallow. Interested persons can email resumes, references and cover letters to athletics@xula.edu.
