GREENVILLE, Pa. (pacathletics.org)--The Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) has announced the hiring of Brian Rose as Associate Commissioner/Director of Communications, effective November 28. Rose replaces Kevin Fenstermacher, who leaves the PAC office after more than 10 years to become Deputy Athletic Director at conference member Westminster College.

“The PAC is thrilled to welcome Brian Rose back to our conference to lead our publicity efforts and to continue the great work that Kevin Fenstermacher has accomplished over the past decade,” said PAC Commissioner Joe Onderko. “We are extremely grateful to Kevin for his incredible work ethic and contributions to the conference and wish him every success in his new role at Westminster.”

Rose most recently served as Assistant Athletic Director at NCAA Division II member Seton Hill University. Prior to that, he was Director of Athletics & Recreation at both PAC member Bethany College (2013-18) and Westmoreland County Community College (2018-21). Previously, he served as Sports Information Director at Bethany (1998-2003; 2005-13) as well as fellow PAC members Carnegie Mellon (2003-04) and Allegheny (2004-05).

“Brian has tremendous experience as a college athletic administrator and communicator, as well as a deep knowledge and familiarity with the PAC after working for several conference members,” Onderko added. “I believe that his experience as both an athletic director at two different schools, in addition to having served as an SID at three current P-A-C members, makes him uniquely positioned for success in this new professional leadership role.”

Rose joins Kristin Consuegra, who began her new role as Assistant Commissioner for Governance & Championships this past summer, and Onderko in the newly-organized PAC conference office.

A native of Imperial, Pa., Rose is a 1998 graduate of Bethany with a major in physical education/sports communication. He and his wife Becky, who currently works as the Assistant Director of Communications at NCAA Division I Youngstown State University, currently reside in Trafford, Pa.
