Western Michigan names SMU Deputy AD for External Relations/former Western Carolina AD Alex Gary as its new AD. President Russ Kavalhuna: “During our nationwide search, Alex quickly set himself apart because he brings the experience and values of Western Michigan. Having sat in the athletics director's chair, he understands the responsibility of leading an entire department, supporting coaches and staff, and putting student-athlete success and comprehensive well-being at the center of every decision. He also has a proven track record as a fundraiser and knows how to bring people together to build the resources our programs need. … Alex is the right leader to build on the momentum of Bronco Athletics.” DHR Global assisted with the process.
