WARRENSBURG, Mo. – University of Central Missouri Athletics announced the hiring of Bailey Kliewer as the department's new Director of Ticketing on Thursday, April 2.

"I am excited for Bailey to get started in this role and see where her hard work takes her," UCM Assistant Athletic Director for Annual Giving Camron Leftwich said. "She will be an outstanding addition to our team in the ticket office and will provide great customer service to our fans."

Kliewer joins UCM after serving as a Recreation Coordinator at the Harrisonville Community Center in Harrisonville, Mo.

As the recreation coordinator, Kliewer helped plan, coordinate, market, and execute special events, and ensured smooth operations for before- and after-school and day-camp programs, including activity planning, safety oversight, and communication with families. She also hired, trained, supervised, and scheduled a team of counselors, providing ongoing support, performance feedback, and guidance.

Kliewer played college basketball for fellow MIAA institution Rogers State University in Claremore, Okla., from 2019-2023 and at Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., in 2023-24. She was a three-year team captain at Rogers State and became just the fourth player in Rogers State history to score at least 1,000 career points, netting 1,065 points in 106 career games played for the Hillcats. Kliewer was named Honorable Mention All-MIAA in 2022-23.

Kliewer was named to both the MIAA Academic Honor Roll and the Academic All-GLVC Team during her college basketball career.

While at Rogers State, she was also a student worker in the athletic department, assisting with ticket booth operations for softball and baseball games and coordinating in-game music for baseball contests.

Kliewer graduated from Rogers State with a bachelor's degree in sport management in 2023 and earned a master's degree in leadership at Truman State in 2025.

After her collegiate playing career, she spent a season playing professionally in Brunehaut, Belgium, in the Belgian Top Division.
