Air Force announced this week that Nathan Pine has been selected as the academy’s new director of athletics.<\/p>\n
Pine had been in the same role at Holy Cross since 2013.<\/p>\n
“I would like to thank Lt. Gen. Silveria and the search committee for their confidence in me,” said Pine in a news release. “The Air Force Academy is a special place, and I am excited for the opportunity to lead athletics at this elite institution. This is a tremendous time to build upon the foundation that is already in place within the athletics department.<\/p>\n
“The US Air Force Academy brings in some of our nation’s best and brightest student-athletes, and the shared responsibility to develop them into leaders for this nation is the cornerstone to everything I want to achieve here.”<\/p>\n
While at Holy Cross, Pine was responsible for an annual athletic department budget of $32 million, more than 100 full-time employees and more than 700 student-athletes competing across 27 Division I sports. He upheld the highest standards of integrity while focusing on stellar academics, winning multiple NCAA graduation rate honors and a cumulative GPA for all athletes above 3.10 every semester he was there.<\/p>\n
During his tenure, the athletic department also saw an unprecedented growth in fundraising, more than doubling the athletic fund over the last four years and raising over $2 million during the 2017-18 academic year.<\/p>\n
“I said from the beginning we needed to do this deliberately, the right way, in order to find the best person for such a dynamic and impactful role. I am so excited to have Nate here on the team,” added Silveria. “I want to thank Col. Jennifer Block for her leadership of academy athletics since April. I am pleased she will remain in the athletic Department to help during the transition. I also want to thank all of the applicants. We interviewed a lot of talented people for the position.<\/p>\n
“We are very excited to solidify this selection and start working towards goals that carry our academy to the next level in Division I athletics and leadership development.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
