Kristine Fowler was hired as the Senior Deputy Athletics Director and Chief Operating Officer in October 2022 following three-plus years as a senior executive at Army West Point.

"We are absolutely thrilled that Kristine is joining our team," Haldeman Family Director of Athletics and Recreation Mike Harrity said. "I've had the good fortune to work alongside Kristine for years, and on a daily basis she demonstrates the integrity, drive and team-first mentality that will help elevate every aspect of Dartmouth Athletics and Recreation. We can't wait for Kristine, her husband Joseph, and their children Kennedy and Jefferson to join us in Hanover."

Hired by the Black Knights as a senior associate athletics director in July 2019, Fowler was promoted to executive associate athletics director the following year before being elevated to deputy athletics director and chief operating officer in July of this year after Harrity was hired as Dartmouth's Director of Athletics and Recreation. The senior woman administrator worked alongside the director of athletics in directing the overall planning, implementation, administration and day-to-day operations of a department that supports more than 1,000 student-athletes across 30 sports.

Fowler served on the four-person senior leadership team as well as succeeded Harrity as the lead executive for the annual Army-Navy football game. She also directed the development of critical organizational effectiveness initiatives and oversaw revenue generation and business development to secure new and innovative streams of revenue. She had administrator oversight of four sports as well — women's basketball, women's lacrosse, women's volleyball and wrestling — plus participated in and oversaw the searches for five head coaches during her tenure.

“Mike Harrity has been a friend and colleague for over 15 years, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to join him in shaping the future of Dartmouth Athletics," Fowler said. "My family and I are eager to get to 'The Woods' and immerse ourselves in the Hanover community and Dartmouth Athletics team."

Prior to her time at Army West Point, Fowler spent five years as an associate athletics director overseeing compliance and two more as a senior associate athletics director in charge of sport administration at Indiana University from 2012-19. She served at various times as the sport administrator for field hockey, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, rowing and wrestling, and represented the department on the Big Ten Sports Management Committee.

Harrity and Fowler first crossed paths while working together at The University of Kansas where she was an assistant athletics director for six years, managing the day-to-day operations of the compliance office. She also served as the liaison to the student-athlete advisory committee, office of general counsel and outside counsel of the athletics department. Fowler began her career in college athletics administration at the University of Miami as the assistant director of compliance from 2003-06.

Fowler has served as the president and board member for the National Association of Athletic Compliance and has actively participated and served on numerous committees for Women Leaders in College Sports.

A Nebraska native, Fowler graduated in 2001 from the University of Nebraska with a degree in business management. She went on to earn her master's of sport administration two years later from Barry University.
