SUNY Geneseo has named Dani Drews as its next director of intercollegiate athletics and recreation. She will begin in this role on July 7. Drews will succeed Mike Mooney, who is retiring after 37 years, including serving the last 12 years as director.
"Geneseo has benefitted from a long history of strong athletic directors, and we are excited that Dani Drews will continue that tradition," said Vice President of Student and Campus Life Michael Taberski. "She has demonstrated throughout her career that she is a fierce advocate for providing an outstanding student-athlete experience leading to success both in competition and academically."
