Miami University President David Hodge has announced the members of the search committee who will identify and recruit an individual for the position of director of intercollegiate athletics. Provost Bobby Gempesaw will serve as chair.
The process will be assisted by search consultants to be identified within the next few days. A position announcement will be developed through discussions with the search committee and campus constituency interviews conducted by the search consultants. Additional staff support will be coordinated by the president’s office through Ted Pickerill, executive assistant to the president.
“Athletics are an important part of the college experience and, to many, they form a first and lasting impression of the university, making the success and reputation of our athletic program an integral part of Miami’s identity,” Hodge said in a letter to the committee. “I am grateful to the committee members for their service in finding the right candidate to lead intercollegiate athletics.”
