Molly Frazier was recently named the Title IX resource for athletics this summer following the resignation of Staci Brennan.
Title IX is “the Education Amendments of 1972 to protect people from discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities that receive federal assistance”.
Hood College needed to choose a new Title IX for athletics after Staci Brennan decided to further her career at another institution as athletic director.
Upon hearing the news about her new position, Frazier was “ecstatic” and “prepared to build upon the foundation that had been set by Ms. Brennan.”
Although her position for Title IX is specific to athletes, Frazier was adamant that her door is always open and she also said “if anybody needs me, I’m here.”
As a resource for students, it is important to understand that any information is confidential in most cases, except for sexual assault. Sexual assault must be reported to the necessary 3rd party due to the serious of the situation.
Frazier has only been the Title IX resource for athletics since July and anticipates students approaching her in the future.
Frazier earned her Bachelor’s degree from Monmouth University in communications in 2011. In 2014, she graduated with a Master’s degree in corporate and public communications from Monmouth as well.
During her stint at Monmouth, she also enjoyed a 5 year playing career as a midfielder/attack on the women’s lacrosse team. Frazier said that her most memorable moment was winning the Northeast Conference (NEC) during her 5th year. She has also worked as a program director for Next Level Athletics in Bethesda, MD.
Frazier will be entering her second year as the Head Coach of the Hood women’s lacrosse team. Frazier said that the atmosphere of the school immediately drew her in and she loved the school. Frazier believes that it’s “a great challenge and accomplishment to build the program”.
