An energetic leader of collegiate athletics as a student-athlete, head coach and athletic director, Bradley-Doppes is recognized nationally as one of the nation's most effective athletic administrators.

Bradley-Doppes' 22 years of NCAA committee service includes Management Council, Division I Women's Basketball, the Committee on Women's Athletics, Division I Volleyball, Division I-AAA, Peer Review Team, Olympic Sports Liaison Committee, NACDA Treasurer and Executive Committee, and the prestigious NCAA Division I Leadership Council.

Bradley-Doppes guided the Denver Pioneers to eight NCAA Championships, 10 NCAA I-AAA Directors' Cups, 109 conference titles, 75 conference coach of the year honors and numerous national rankings in her 13 seasons in charge of the Division of Athletics and Recreation.
Under Bradley-Doppes, the Pioneers claimed their 10th I-AAA Directors' Cup in the last 11 years in 2017-18, led by the skiing program's 24th National Championship. Denver became one of five programs in the country to win at least one National Championship in each of the last five years in her final season.
Denver earned its highest overall Directors' Cup finish in history, placing 35th in the country, ahead of more than 30 schools from Power 5 conferences in 2016-17, led by the hockey program's eighth national championship. Of the 22 NCAA team bracketed sports, Denver reached the national semifinals in three of them, tied for the fifth most in the country that season.
In 2015, DU's men's lacrosse team won its first national championship, and the Division's 30th overall, becoming the first school west of Chapel Hill, N.C. to hoist the men's lacrosse trophy.
The 2012 West Region Under Armour AD of the Year guided the Pioneers to transitions from the Sun Belt Conference to the Western Athletic Conference to their present home in The Summit League during her tenure, while also accepting a bid to join the newly formed National Collegiate Hockey Conference in 2013-14. Bradley-Doppes also transitioned both lacrosse programs into the BIG EAST Conference and the gymnastics program into the Big XII.
Following her departure from her Vice Chancellor of Athletics and Recreation role at the end of the 2017-18 athletics season, Bradley-Doppes was named Vice Chancellor Emeritus and received the Women Leaders in College Sports (formerly NACWAA) Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. Currently Bradley-Doppes is serving as a Special Advisor to the Chancellor at the University of Denver.
