Lisa Vollmers

Director of Student-Athlete Services for USA Hockey

Lisa Vollmers grew up in Ann Arbor, MI. Lisa received her Bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University in History and Anthropology. She later earned her Master’s degree from Eastern Michigan University with an emphasis on European and American History. She taught at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor for 25 years, retiring in 2016.

While working in Ann Arbor, Lisa was also the district NCAA coordinator interacting with counselors and administrators at all five A2 high schools. In addition to her work in the schools, Lisa took on a part-time position with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in 2004, working to support student-athletes in their academic pursuits while they participated in this elite program. Upon her retirement, she expanded her roll to further support the athletes, parents and host families involved with the NTDP.

Lisa and her husband, Jim, currently live In Dexter, MI. She has two adult children. Olivia played college soccer at Western Michigan University and earned a degree in Business Management and Economics. After five years in the United States Marine Corps, Spencer went on to attend WMU and is now in his final year, also earning a degree in Business Management and Economics. The Vollmers’ family pet, Mufaza, is a ten-year-old Golden Retriever. Lisa enjoys traveling, playing golf and being an enthusiastic spectator for college and professional football and hockey.

Why Lisa chose MIPS:

"In 2020, I discovered MIPS to be an amazing educational solution to the global pandemic. As the NTDP consists of 46 student-athletes, we needed to provide the student-athletes with an accredited, NCAA approved, asynchronous program to attend while training for the national team. After meeting with the administration and learning about the program, I felt confident partnering with MIPS in order to fulfill our students’ academic needs while working diligently to keep everyone healthy.

MIPS offers tremendous support and a wide range of challenging courses that truly prepare our students as they matriculate to attend leading Division I universities to pursue college degrees while they participate in varsity hockey programs. The MIPS staff is top notch as they consistently go the extra mile to meet their students’ needs. I continue to be impressed with the MIPS mission and enjoy our ongoing working relationship."
