Meghan Mulcahy joined the Northeastern State University athletics department staff in September 2020 as Senior Associate Athletics Director for Internal Operations.
In her role with NSU Athletics, Mulcahy is responsible for compliance, eligibility and NCAA reporting. She also will assist the athletics department on budget oversight, game management, and sever as the institution’s Senior Woman’s Administrator.
Mulcahy comes to Tahlequah from Oklahoma Panhandle State University (Goodwell, Okla.), where she served as Director of Athletics since 2017. She guided OPSU athletics through its transition from NCAA Division II to full NAIA and Sooner Athletic Conference membership and instigated the addition of men’s and women’s soccer in 2019. Mulcahy oversaw upgrades to several vital athletics facilities, including construction of a state-of-the-art shooting sports venue, field turf project for football, renovations to their athletic department offices, fieldhouse and weight room. The Aggies' athletics logo - designed by Mulcahy - won the NAIA LogoWars contest during an eight-week voting competition.
Mulcahy oversaw the department’s primary fundraiser, The Belly Open Golf Tournament, and grew OPSU Athletics community partners and season ticket sales. In the 2019-20 academic year, OPSU teams gave back with 2,300 hours of service projects, and 138 student-athletes earning academic-based awards.
After joining OPSU an assistant softball coach for the 2012 season, Mulcahy was elevated to be the program’s head coach, which she held for seven years (2013-19). She also was the department’s Senior Women’s Administrator and gameday coordinator before becoming athletic director in 2017.
Originally from Dallas, Texas, Mulcahy is a graduate of Nicholls State University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2007 and obtained a master's in Kinesiology in 2009 from the University of North Texas.
