New Athletic Director

Tom Huisman has been appointed as UBC Okanagan's new Director, Athletics and Recreation. He joins UBC Okanagan with more than 25 years of senior sport and university leadership experience that followed his own athletic career as a provincial soccer player and varsity distance and cross-country runner.

Originally from Winnipeg and an MBA graduate of the University of Manitoba, Tom most recently was the Manager of Inter-university Sport Programs at Carleton University in Ottawa.  There he helped guide Carleton sport teams to multiple National and Provincial Championships.

He was on hand at the UBC Okanagan Heat scholarship breakfast this past Friday and Ryan Watters caught up with him.
