The new CIU Athletics Director is no stranger to the Rams.

Stefan Vasiloff previously served as CIU's assistant athletics director for game day operations and facilities, and most recently, provided leadership as interim athletics director.

Vasiloff brings a wealth of diverse leadership experiences having served in ministry and business opportunities. He has been a lead operational manager, small business owner, and senior pastor.

Vasiloff is also no stranger to college athletics. He is a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame at Ohio Christian University where he was a three-year letter-winner and a National Christian College Athletic Association All-American. Additionally, for nearly 10 years, he was a men’s basketball official across multiple states in the Midwest and Southeast United States.

He replaces the late Darren Richie who passed away in December after contracting bacterial meningitis while supporting the women’s soccer team on a tournament trip in Florida.

"Since his passing, it has been in my heart to honor Darren's life and leadership. I envision our team thriving," Vasiloff said. "From our coaches and student-athletes to our graduate assistants and support staff. I want to see them thrive. I'm very excited for the future possibilities that lie ahead."
