KU NAMES ALEX OGEKA DIRECTOR OF ATHLETIC ADVANCEMENT

 

KUTZTOWN, PA - Kutztown University has named Alex Ogeka as its director of athletic advancement.

 

            Ogeka, who began his appointment on Monday (Sept. 18), replaces Matt Santos, who left his role in athletic advancement to become the school's assistant director of university relations earlier this year.  Ogeka will oversee all aspects of development and promotions for Kutztown's 21-sport NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics department. 

 

            "in the short time that I have been here, it is clear to me that the common goal at Kutztown is to provide the best possible college experience, both on and off the court or field, for our student-athletes," Ogeka said.  "I believe that speaks a lot about the athletic department and the institution as a whole.  I am looking forward to working with the very dedicated and hard-working advancement and athletics staffs here at KU."

 

            Ogeka comes to Kutztown from Mansfield University, where he was the director of development for athletics since October 2004.  While at MU, Ogeka's duties included cultivation of corporate and private donors, management of special events and alumni events, and implementation of marketing and promotions for Mansfield's athletic department.  Ogeka established Mansfield's Friends Clubs and managed the development of the Mansfield University Football Legacy Club.  

 

            Prior to Mansfield, Ogeka served as director of marketing and ticket operations at the University of Hartford from 2002-04.   There, he managed the marketing, promotional and community outreach efforts for all 18 Division I men's and women's athletics programs.  Ogeka also served as a marketing and promotions associate for the Erie Otters Hockey Club from 1998-2002.

 

            Ogeka is graduate of Mercyhurst College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in sport marketing.
