Western names interim athletic director

Steve Brummel has worked for the university for 29 years

By Connor J. Benintendi Staff Reporter

Steve Brummel, Western Washington University’s senior associate director of athletics, was named interim athletics director April 18.

Western Athletics announced Brummel’s new, temporary role just a few weeks after former athletic director Steve Card retired on March 31 — ending a 10-year tenure.

Brummel has worked in various roles over his 29 years at Western, including 17 years as an instructor in the College of Business and Economics and as a sports administrator for four of the school’s varsity sports. He is in his 10th year as an associate director of athletics.

A 1993 Western graduate, Brummel received a bachelor’s in business administration and was a three-year letter winner as a running back for the Vikings’ football team.

Western is still soliciting applications for its vacant athletic director position.
