Dawn Kelly, a former head coach at the University of Rochester and alum of the University of Wisconsin Volleyball program, was named the Head Volleyball Coach at Beloit College on June 4, 2007. 

Kelly came to Beloit from St. John's School in Houston, Texas, where she has been the Head Volleyball Coach and Assistant Track & Field and Soccer Coach since 2003.  During her tenure at St. John's, she transformed the Volleyball squad from a team that just got in to post-season play to the top-seeded team this past season, posting the best record in the history of the program at the school.  As the leader of the Volleyball program, she managed a staff of eight coaches and oversaw eight Volleyball teams.

Prior to St. John's, Kelly was the Head Volleyball Coach for four seasons at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, leading the team into the NCAA Tournament in her final season.  She was also a Volleyball and Athletic Development Intern at Princeton University for one season, assisting both the women's and men's NCAA Tournament teams. 

A 1997 graduate of Wisconsin, she earned her Bachelors degree in Arts and English.  A walk-on for the Badger Volleyball team, she earned a full athletic scholarship and was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.  She has started work on a Masters degree in Human Development.
