Dear Faculty, Staff & Students,

I’m very happy to announce that Chris Kingston will be joining BGSU July 15 as our new director of athletics. Chris is currently executive senior associate director of athletics at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C., where he has been since August 2010.

At NC State, Chris is directly responsible for the day-to-day operations of the football and men's basketball programs. Additionally, he oversees external initiatives, athletic branding, NCAA compliance, student services and media relations.

Prior to NC State, he was at the U.S. Military Academy, where he served four years as the associate director of athletics for operations before becoming the special assistant to the director of athletics/director of annual giving.

Chris was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army's Military Intelligence Corps upon graduation from the University of Central Florida in May 1994. He retired from the U.S. Army in September 2009. In addition to earning his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Central Florida, Chris received his master's degree in leadership development and educational counseling from Long Island University prior to his initial assignment to West Point.

Chris and his wife, Stephanie, a native of Whiteville, N.C., have four children: Lakin, Christopher Jr., Luke and Mackenzie.

I’m looking forward to working with Chris, and I hope you will join me in welcoming the Kingstons to the Falcon family.

Regards,

MaryEllen Mazey
Mary Ellen Mazey
President
