Howard Resigns from West Alabama to Become Ouachita Baptist SID
The University of West Alabama Assistant Sports Information Director Brian Howard announced his resignation effective July 31, and will become the new Sports Information Director at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark.
Howard has held the role of Assistant SID at West Alabama for a year and a half and served as the contact for various sports, primarily volleyball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball.
“First of all, I want to thank the entire athletic department here at West Alabama, as well as the entire campus community for the opportunity they have given me to publicize Tiger athletics,” Howard said. “West Alabama was my first collegiate job and I will always hold a special spot in my heart. The coaches and staff here are tremendous and I will miss working with each of them. At the same time, I am extremely excited to begin a new challenge.”
Prior to coming to UWA, Howard spent six years in the newspaper business, starting in El Dorado, Ark., before moving to Keyser, W.Va. He also worked at newspapers in South Carolina and Georgia.
“I would like to thank Brian for all he has done for me and the university in his time at UWA,” Sports Information Director Kyle Lewis said. “He has been a valuable asset to Tiger athletics and will be sorely missed.”
