Oregon State President Ed Ray on Monday named a committee to assist him in a national search to find Bob De Carolis' successor as athletic director.
De Carolis announced last week he will step down at the end of June after nearly 13 years as athletic director and 17 years working in athletics administration at the university.
The search committee will be led by Joey Spatafora, an OSU professor and the university’s faculty athletic representative to the Pac-12 Conference.
The committee includes Oregon State alumni Marty Reser, vice president of retail sales for Reser’s Fine Foods, and John Stirek, regional president of Trammell Crow; OSU women’s basketball coach Scott Rueck; OSU gymnast Erika Aufiero; Colleen Bee, associate professor in OSU’s College of Business, who serves as co-chair of OSU’s student athletics advisory committee; Glenn Ford, OSU vice president of finance and administration; Jim Patterson, OSU senior associate athletic director; Taylor Sarman, OSU student body president; and Marianne Vydra, OSU associate athletic director.
