Quinnipiac’s retiring athletic director, Jack McDonald, has signed on as associate vice president and director of athletics for the University of New England. He announced his retirement in October, and is set to finish his tenure at Quinnipiac on June 30.
“Jack McDonald is the consummate builder,” said University of New England President Danielle N. Ripich, Ph.D, in an announcement Monday. “He brings to UNE, Maine’s largest private university, his experience, enthusiasm and energy to build our growing athletics program. We all welcome him and a new era of leadership for our athletics program.”
In the statement, McDonald said he is looking forward to working with the athletics department at UNE.
“UNE is a beautiful campus with outstanding leadership and excellent programs and facilities,” he said. “I would also like to sincerely thank Quinnipiac President John Lahey, Mark Thompson and the Athletics and Recreation staff for 20 perfect years.”
