Madison, NJ – FDU - Florham Director of Athletics Kristin Giotta and the FDU Devils athletics department are excited to announce the hiring of
Mark Weaver as the Devils new Sports Information Director.
Weaver, a Poughkeepsie, N.Y. native, begins his tenure in Madison after spending a year and a half at University of Delaware where he served as a Director of Athletics Communications and Creative Services for the Blue Hens. While at UD, Weaver was the primary contact for the men's lacrosse and women's field hockey programs and the secondary contact for the men's basketball team. He led all communications efforts for his teams from handling media requests to game day management to content creation for the men's lacrosse and field hockey social media pages.
"Sports Information is the face of our department, and it was evident that Mark has all the tools necessary to promote Devils Athletics while elevating our brand," said FDU Director of Athletics Kristin Giotta. "His desire to get back into the profession was apparent and we are very excited for him to begin his new chapter with us!"
Weaver's athletics communications career began at University of Lynchburg in Lynchburg, Va. where he spent two years as the graduate assistant sports information director. After he received his MBA from Lynchburg, Weaver spent a year in DeLand, Fla. at Stetson University as the athletic communications assistant. Following his time in Florida, he moved back north and spent a year as the Assistant Director of Athletic Communications at Cabrini University in Radnor, Pa. before landing in Newark, Del. and now in Madison.
"I want to thank Director of Athletics Kristin Giotta for this opportunity to lead the FDU Devils athletics sports information office," said Weaver. "I'm excited to be a part of the FDU family and continue to tell the FDU story and highlight the long-standing tradition of success in Devils athletics."
As Sports Information Director at FDU, Weaver will oversee all facets of the sports information office. From elevating the Devils Athletics brand through strategic social media and content creation to telling compelling stories through the voices of student-athletes, Weaver aims to celebrate the program's successes and build a recognizable presence in NCAA Division III athletics.
