BMC HIRES FULL-TIME SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR

Zachary M. Pretzer will join the staff of the Bryn Mawr College Athletics and Physical Education Department as the College's first full-time sports information and compliance director on July 11.

Pretzer comes to Bryn Mawr from the University of Tennessee's flagship Knoxville campus, where he earned an M.S. in sport management and worked as a sport-management assistant. At UT, Pretzer designed, maintained and wrote news and feature stories for the university's Adidas Partners in Sport program Web site; he also wrote for several university periodicals. While earning his master's degree, Pretzer also coached Knoxville's Farragut High School baseball team to back-to-back AAA state championships.

The move to Bryn Mawr represents a return to the world of liberal-arts colleges for Pretzer, who graduated from Oberlin College in 2003 with a major in history and a minor in physical education. During his undergraduate years, he served as sports editor for the Oberlin Review, an award-winning student newspaper, and as a sports-information assistant in the college's athletics department, where he was responsible for all news and feature stories on the department's Web site. As a member of Oberlin's baseball team, he broke 13 team records and won, among other honors, the John N. Stern/North Coast Athletic Conference Award for athletic and academic excellence.
