Small College Conversations: Tanya Hockman

Jim Abbott • June 15, 2026

Insights from Malone AD Tanya Hockman on sport sponsorship, facilities, FloSports and much more.

Tanya Hockman, Malone University Director of Athletics, joins College.town’s Kristen Eargle on this episode of Small College Conversations. Hockman walked on campus in 1990 as a student and never left. The two dive into her transition from being the head volleyball coach to now being in year five as the AD. They also discuss hot topics that come from leading a Division II institution, including sport sponsorship, the media deal with FloSports, and what rule changes she would advise in the sport where she coached and earned almost 500 wins.
