Dr. Harry Stafford has been named the Middle Eastern Atlantic Conference's Chief Medical Officer. New MEAC commissioner Sonja Stills says “this is an exciting time for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, both on the field and beyond. Dr. Stafford wears several hats, including that of Head Team Physician at North Carolina Central University, and he will continue to serve as chair of the MEAC’s Health and Medical Advisory Committee. Dr. Stafford will not only offer his expertise as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, but he will also spearhead conference initiatives relating to mental health,” Stills said. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) is in its 51st year of intercollegiate competition with the 2021-22 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of eight outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University
