Arkansas State University Chancellor Dr. Kelly Damphousse announced Tuesday that a national search for the Red Wolves’ 12th athletics director has begun after former Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Terry Mohajir was appointed the Athletics Director at the University of Central Florida.
“When Beth and I came to campus for my interview as chancellor, our first stop that day was with Terry Mohajir,” said Damphousse. “We left that meeting inspired by Terry’s vision for A-State Athletics and for the university as a whole. We knew immediately that he has incredible passion for his alma mater and for the success of his staff and his student-athletes, and that has continued to play out during our time together at A-State.
