CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University President Ed Ray Wednesday named Marianne Vydra as interim OSU athletics director while the university completes a national search to select a new intercollegiate athletics director.
Todd Stansbury, Oregon State's current athletics director and vice president, announced last week he will leave Oregon State to serve as Georgia Tech's athletics director. Ray said Vydra and Stansbury will work together to provide for a "seamless leadership transition" to occur on Nov. 4.
Vydra served as interim director of Oregon State athletics in the summer of 2015, presently serves as deputy director of OSU athletics for administration and is the department's senior woman administrator.
