Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association

Sandra Shuler, Women’s Coordinator for North Carolina Central University from 1974-1980 was a pioneer by developing the championship format for CIAA volleyball. In 1973 she coordinated NCCU’s transition from women’s sports governed under the Women’s Athletics Association to intercollegiate athletics. The following year she organized and coached the first NCCU intercollegiate volleyball team. She also did the same for softball at NCCU. She is the author of two books on intercollegiate athletics and has also written a history of NCCU’s Physical Education and Recreation Department from 1937-1985.
