Washington State University President Kirk Schulz has selected Patrick Chun as the WSU Director of Athletics.
He becomes the 14th individual to lead Cougar athletics in school history and begins his duties Feb. 5.
The 43-year-old Chun is the first Asian-American athletic director to lead a Power 5 school and continues President Schulz’ drive to diversify his senior leadership team. He has spent the past five and a half years leading Florida Atlantic University athletics and the previous 15 years at Ohio State University in a multitude of roles from 1997 through 2012, culminating as the executive associate athletics director.
During his time at Florida Atlantic University athletics, Chun guided the Owls to unprecedented successes across academics, athletics, student-athlete development and fundraising. (Washington State University)
