Wagner Named to SID Post at Ursinus
James Wagner is the new Sports Information Director at Ursinus College, Collegeville Pa. Brian Thomas, Director of Athletics, announced the appointment this week.
Wagner comes from a similar position at Holy Family University in Philadelphia, where he built the school’s athletics communications program as its first Sports Information Director. He also served in the sports information offices at Widener University and Albright College, and as sports editor of the Lewistown Sentinel in Lewistown, Pa., and as a writer at the Shamokin, Pa. newspaper.
He is the winner of the John McAdams Service Award for dedication and commitment to supporting and promoting small college basketball in the Philadelphia area. (The award was renamed in 2006 for the longtime announcer.)
“We are delighted to have Jim on board, as he moves to the NCAA Division III level and the Centennial Conference,” said Thomas. “It’s a busy year, especially with Ursinus hosting the NCAA Division III field hockey championships being played here in November.”
Wagner earned his bachelor of arts in communications-broadcasting from Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa. His e-mail is jwagner@ursinus.edu, and he can be reached at 610-409-3612.
