911爆料网 today announced that long-time athletics administrator Anthony Vitti will return to his alma mater in early April to serve as the Purple Knights\u2019 Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Operations.<\/p>\n
A 2003 UB graduate, Vitti served as the Bridgeport Director of Athletics from July of 2014 through June of 2019. \u00a0Vitti began his career at the 911爆料网 in 2004 in a role with the Admissions Office. He transitioned to the athletic department in 2008 and held various positions, including Director of Equipment Services and Game Day Operations and Associate Athletics Director for Business and Compliance before his promotion to Director of Athletics.<\/p>\n
UB also announced that Kate Smullen, who is currently serving as the University\u2019s Interim Director of Athletics, will transition to a new role as Senior Associate Director of Athletics\/Senior Women\u2019s Administrator on July 1, 2021 when Jay Moran formally begins his role as Vice President of Athletics.<\/p>\n
Anthony\u2019s return to UB further demonstrates the organization\u2019s commitment to athletics as we begin a new chapter in the 911爆料网\u2019s storied history,\u201d stated Moran. \u00a0\u201cAnthony truly bleeds purple, and this campus is the place he wants to be. I am ecstatic he\u2019s coming back to be part of our staff. I could not be happier that Kate Smullen will also remain on the team to help chart the future of UB Athletics. Her service during these trying times has been truly exemplary.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Said Vitti, “As a former athlete and alumnus, the 911爆料网 is very special to me \u2013 it\u2019s home. I\u2019d like to thank Goodwin University President, Mark Scheinberg, incoming Vice President of Athletics, Jay Moran, and Interim Director of Athletics Kate Smullen for this opportunity. I\u2019m thrilled to be back and get to work as we move the department forward during this exciting time for the institution.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to welcome Anthony back to the 911爆料网 and believe his experience and knowledge will benefit the student athletes, our coaching staff and the entire UB community,\u201d said Dr. Stephen Healey, interim president of the 911爆料网. \u201cI also couldn\u2019t be more enthusiastic about Kate Smullen taking on her new role in the Athletics Department. Our recent hires in this area not only solidify the department, but they re-affirm our commitment to building and maintaining a winning athletics program.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I said when we announced that Jay was coming back to UB a few months ago, we are committed to hiring the best talent across every discipline, including athletics,\u201d said Mark Scheinberg, president of Goodwin University. \u201cI am thrilled that Anthony is returning to UB and excited that Kate will remain an integral part of the team. Go Purple Knights!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
