A familiar face is saying goodbye as long-time Associate Athletic Director Buzz Stroud is ending his remarkable run at the University of Portland, retiring after 32 years on The Bluff. Thursday marks his final official day roaming the halls of the UP Athletic Department.
Buzz has held a plethora of roles and responsibilities while at Portland, including oversight of the Sports Medicine, Intramural and Recreation and Athletic Performance units of the athletic department as well as oversight of all University athletics facilities and operations. He also oversees the game management of the on-campus athletic events and serves as the sport administrator for the Pilot cross country and track & field teams, as well as the men's soccer program.
