STANFORD, Calif. -- - Caroline O'Connorhas resigned her position as Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf after 17 seasons at the helm of the Stanford program.
"I feel very fortunate to have been a part of the Stanford community and to have worked with so many extraordinary student-athletes and coaches for the past 17 years," said O'Connor.
"Stanford will always hold a special place in my heart and I look forward to watching the development of the women's golf program for years to come."
