Long Beach State hired Jessi Lumsden as the program’s Student-Athlete Development Coordinator in 2026, a key role supporting student-athletes and providing meaningful growth opportunities outside of competition.

In her position as Student-Athlete Development Coordinator, Lumsden will coordinate Long Beach State’s award-winning BeAChamipon program, a student-athlete development curriculum providing programming focused on career readiness, leadership development, life skills, and other areas specifically targeted by student-athletes for student-athletes to support their experience throughout their collegiate experience. Lumsden will also guide the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), oversee community service opportunities and collaborate with campus partners to connect student-athletes with university resources.

Lumsden joins Long Beach State after four years at Chapman University, where she most recently served as Athletics Department Administrative Supervisor. Supporting 23 varsity programs, she helped lead student-athlete development and departmental operations while coordinating the Playbook For Life initiative at Chapman. That included multiple campus events in a similar role, including advising SAAC, managing the Student-Athlete Awards Ceremony and the Athletics Welcome Back BBW and working with campus partners.

A two-time All-American in women’s volleyball at Chapman, Lumsden served as the president of SAAC before moving into athletic administration with her alma mater. She completed her MBA from Chapman in 2025.
