Mandy Hambleton is Senior Director of Content Development at TNG, Vice President of ATIXA, and an ATIXA Advisory Board member, with nearly 20 years of experience in Title IX compliance, student conduct, conflict resolution, academic integrity, behavioral intervention, case management, and policy and systems development.

Hambleton is a skilled writer, editor, and curriculum designer whose work demonstrates a deep commitment to prevention, inclusivity, and human-centered policies. With expertise in breaking down complex systems into clear, actionable strategies, she creates practical solutions for those most impacted and the broader community. Her contributions to ATIXA and NABITA include developing training curricula, model policies, member resources, whitepapers, and manuals. She engages with members by addressing inquiries through the ATIXA and NABITA listservs. As ATIXA Vice President, Hambleton plays a key role in advancing education and advocacy efforts through thought leadership, training development and facilitation, conference planning, strategic partnerships, and legislative initiatives.

She has deep expertise in informal resolution and restorative practices, including policy and process development and implementation. Hambleton specializes in the intersection of Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs) and Title IX, with a focus on balancing individual needs with legal and compliance obligations. Recognized for her creativity in facilitation, she is a sought-after resource for applied learning strategies and alternative dispute resolution. As an informal resolution facilitator and trainer, she helps institutions implement systems and strategies in student conduct, employment, and civil rights. She is passionate about using restorative practices to respond to sex-based harm and serves as a virtual volunteer facilitator for the Community Justice Initiatives’ Revive facilitated dialogue and peer support group programs.

She has continued to support the Association for Student Conduct Administration (ASCA), as both a conference presenter and guest speaker for their Sexual Misconduct Community of Practice (COP) and their Fraternity and Sorority Life COP. Within the organization, she previously served as Kansas State Coordinator, Sexual Misconduct COP Coordinator, and Graduate Student COP Coordinator.

Before joining TNG, Hambleton served as Title IX Director at Florida State University, overseeing compliance programs across three domestic and four international campuses, as well as a K-12 charter school district. She previously held the positions of Assistant Vice President for Student Advocacy, Intervention, and Accountability and Deputy Title IX Coordinator at Wichita State University, Assistant Director for Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution at the University of Florida, and Student Conduct Coordinator at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She has also served in interim student conduct roles at Georgia Institute of Technology and Appalachian State University. Known for her ability to restructure and build teams, enhance processes, and establish institutional trust and visibility, Hambleton brings a practitioner-educator lens grounded in compassion, structure, and clarity.
