A former volleyball student-athlete at Wittenberg University, she was recognized by the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association (AVCA) as one of the top young volleyball coaches in America with a Thirty Under 30 Award in 2009.

The spouse of current AASU women's basketball coach Matt Schmidt, Brittany Schmidt will provide academic support to all women student-athletes at AASU; coordinate and/or provide administrative support for coaches of all women's sports as well as represent AASU at Senior Women's Administrator (SWA) meetings of the Peach Belt Conference and the NCAA.

"Brittany has had to hit the ground running for our department with Marketing and Promotions, but I feel confident in her abilities to add the duties of Senior Women's Administrator," Athletic Director Andy Carter said. "She is a bright young woman with a great future in collegiate athletics and I believe she will be very successful for us in these roles."
