She played an insturmental role in founding the women's program at Michigan in 1974. She is stepping down from her position at the beginning of 1991 after serving for 13 years.

Central Campus Recreation Program, but the biggest need was Ocker was named director of women's athletics in 1978, and something besides facilitities: namely, athletes. since that time, she has nurtured the program from fledgling Because of the social taboos which were only then breaking status to the brink of national prominence. While the genera down, most young women did not participate in sports in high public will always associate Wolverine sports with 105,000 school. Consequently, many women's first taste of competition people jammed into Michigan Stadium, Ocker believes that the was at the collegiate level. women's program is ready for a change.

"I think she's been a tremendous asset to the program, women's basketball coach Bud VandeWege said. "She's been here from the beginning, and we've really come a long way." Despite the incredible growth of the program over the last decade, it is not Ocker's nature to be satisfied with the past. There are things she would like to see after she has retired. "The most difficult thing has been the lack of support from the students," Ocker said. "We've made a real effort to get students to become spectators at women's sports events, and our attendance is still low." Raising attendance will be just one of the goals of Ocker's successor, who has yet to be named. While she will not take an active role in the selection process, she is confident that, because of her coaches, the transition process will be a smooth one. It is because of Ocker's efforts that when, years from now, the time comes to retire, people will actually know her successor's name.
