ASK THE AD

The Dartmouth College Athletics Department is proud to present Ask the AD to the Big Green fans. Each week, Acting Director of Athletics and Recreation Bob Ceplikas will answer a question submitted through DartmouthSports.com, the official web site of Dartmouth athletics, and post his response.

Ceplikas, a 1978 graduate of Dartmouth College and 30-year veteran of the college's staff in athletics and admissions, will serve as the athletics director for the 2009-2010 academic year while the college conducts a national search for a successor.

Ceplikas has been the Deputy Director of Athletics for the past 15 years, serving under both former athletics directors Josie Harper and Dick Jaeger. He has overseen the department's annual giving programs, including the Athletic Sponsor Program (to support recruiting) and individual sports' Friends Groups. Total donations have grown nearly four times from approximately $500,000 to nearly $2 million annually during his tenure.

With extensive supervisory experience, Ceplikas has most recently overseen varsity athletics communications, and marketing and promotions. He has also played a pivotal role in long-range planning and assisted the athletics director with external relations and overall management of the department.
