Georgia Southern-East Georgia AD Joe Heikkinen will depart tomorrow to return to the private sector. Director of Compliance Jonathan Clasen will serve as Interim AD, with Asst. AD for Administration and Communications Justin Gray to serve as Interim Deputy AD. Georgia Southern VP for Business and Finance Ron Stalnaker: “Jonathan has made an immediate impact since arriving on the East Georgia Campus, and his experience in NAIA compliance and event management makes him well prepared to lead the Golden Eagles through this transition. Justin’s ties to this campus and this community are exactly what we need as we continue building support for our student-athletes. We also thank Joe for his leadership in launching Golden Eagles Athletics and wish him the very best in his next chapter.” (link)
