EASTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY

Eastern New Mexico has received about 50 applications for its upcoming athletic director vacancy, and hopes to get one in place in Jeff Geiser’s final weeks before his July 1 retirement. Jeff Long, ENMU’s Vice President of Student Affairs, chairs of the athletic director search committee made up of ENMU athletic coaches, faculty, adminstrators and students, along with a Portales citizen. The committee, Long said, is on the verge of paring the field to five or six finailsts. “I’m in the process of calling that smaller number and making sure they’re still interested and asking a few questions,” Long said. “Based upon their responses and if they’re interested, the number stays the same or gets smaller. From that group we’ll decide to invite them to the campus and interview them. -Matthew Asher, CNJOnline, Read More
