Dear Colleagues,
Mike Hermann is the athletic director.
Can you give us a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
I’ve had the chance to serve as the director of athletics at three previous institutions: Niagara, Towson and Kansas Wesleyan. Most recently, I was in a senior athletics role at Pacific in California. I was excited to return to the Midwest (I grew up in Ohio) and have the opportunity to lead an athletics program again.
What’s something important you’ve learned from your family?
