A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Native Charlestonian Andy Solomon began his Citadel career in the summer of 1991, becoming the college’s first fulltime athletics marketing and promotions director. He has since handled special events, licensing, The Blue & White publications, teaching and sports information responsibilities, and now devotes his efforts to raising funds for the Department of Athletics. Solomon was selected as the inaugural Marketer of the Year (1999-2000) for NCAA Division I-AA and I-AAA institutions by the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) and was named National SID of the Year in 1983 by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), becoming the youngest ever to win the award. In March 2004, Solomon was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame and became the third native Charlestonian to be enshrined in a national sports hall of fame as he joined Art Shell (NFL) and Beth Daniel (LPGA). In 2009, he was inducted into Winthrop University’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Prior to his arrival at The Citadel, Solomon served in athletic administrative positions at College of Charleston (1973-77), Charleston Southern (1977-78), Winthrop (1978-84) and Limestone (1984-88). He was the public relations manager at Wild Dunes Resort in 1988-89. Solomon is a longtime member of the board of directors of the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame and served as president in 2010; was the inaugural vice-chairman and second chairman of the Charleston Metro Sports Council; is a member of the board of directors and media relations director for the Medal of Honor Bowl; and has served as a NCAA representative at baseball Regionals/Super Regionals every year since 2003. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from College of Charleston in 1977 and added a master’s in history from Winthrop in 1983.
