In her new role, she is associate professor of management in the College of Business and Management, teaching management and organizational leadership courses in the undergraduate and MBA programs. Migliano holds B.S. and MBA degrees from Lynn and a Ph.D. in organizational management from Capella University.

“I am honored to join such a distinguished group of faculty who are genuine teachers,” Migliano says. “I am eager to connect with our students directly in the classroom.”

While an undergraduate at Lynn, Migliano was a shooting guard on the Fighting Knights women’s basketball team from its first year in 1993 to 1997. She was team captain in 1996–97.

Under her leadership, Lynn earned five national championship titles in baseball, women’s golf, men’s soccer and men’s tennis. The Fighting Knights’ winning record extended to the classroom, too. In 2014–15, nearly 71 percent of Lynn’s student athletes earned a 3.0 or higher grade point average, and 44 percent received a 3.50 GPA or higher. Eleven student athletes maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA.

With Migliano’s assistance, Lynn completed two major athletics facilities, Perper Tennis Complex and Bobby Campbell Stadium. Also during that time, Lynn won the NCAA Division II Community Engagement Award of Excellence. The honor is awarded to institutions that successfully “build bridges” with their communities.
