SWOSU BEGINS SEARCH FOR NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Southwestern Oklahoma State University has begun the process of identifying candidates to replace veteran administrator Cecil Perkins as the school’s new director of athletics.
Perkins took over a new assignment as special assistant to the president on June 1 after serving as the school’s athletic director since 1981.
SWOSU president John Hays said he has taken a number of calls in regards to the position although the official posting was not until today (June 6).
“We'll go through the full process, take our time, and make the right decision," he said. “I’m confident this type of job will attract a number of well-qualified candidates.”
