Princeton (he was a heckuva a student, too). He later went on to work at the Big Ten office and now Northwestern:
EVANSTON, Ill.--Northwestern University Director of Athletics Mark Murphy today announced the addition of John Mack as associate athletics director for external affairs, effective Monday, Aug. 28. Mack, who comes to Northwestern after serving as associate director of championships at the Big Ten Conference for the past two-plus years, replaces Chris Boyer who accepted another position at the University of Maryland last month.
Mack will be responsible for the coordination and administration of the department's media services, ticket promotions, marketing and broadcast properties in addition to the direct supervision of media services, marketing and adjunct supervision of the ticket office. He also will serve as the administrator for fencing, baseball, cross country, field hockey and men's tennis.
"I would like to extend my thanks to Mark Murphy for giving me the opportunity to serve as associate athletics director at Northwestern," Mack said. "Northwestern offers the best of both worlds both academically and athletically. The student-athletes, coaches and staff represent the very best in college athletics and I'm extremely excited to become a part of the Wildcat family."
"We're excited to have John join our department," said Murphy. "With his ties to Princeton and the Big Ten, he has an ideal background for Northwestern. John is a talented administrator and we're anxious to have him join our athletic staff."
Mack is a 2000 graduate of Princeton University where he earned his bachelor's degree in psychology. Upon receiving his degree, he remained at this alma mater for four years, first serving as an event operations assistant for the athletics department for 18 months. Mack then served as assistant women's track and field coach and assistant director of intercollegiate programming for two years before moving onto the Big Ten in March of 2004. At the Big Ten, Mack assisted with all aspects of the conference's 23 sport championships and coordinated the conference awards program for all Big Ten-sponsored sports. He served as the staff liaison to the Big Ten Sports Management Committee and the conference liaison to several coaches groups including men's and women's cross country/track and field, field hockey, women's tennis and women's swimming and diving.
