WAYNESBURG, Pa. (May 9) – Waynesburg University is excited to announce that Tim Fusina has been named its new Director of Athletics. While serving in his new position, Fusina will also remain as the head coach of the Yellow Jacket men's basketball team. He is one of several individuals who will be tackling new roles as part of Waynesburg's plans to provide an enriching and rewarding experience for all of its students.
 
Fusina replaces Adam Jack, who remains at Wayneburg as its new Vice President of Enrollment Management, Athletics, Facilities and Strategic Initiatives. Jack is more-than-confident that Fusina's hiring will allow the department to grow and thrive well into the future.
 
"I am excited to see where Coach Fusina will take the Athletic Department in the coming years," Jack said. "He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position, which will be critical to the continued growth and success of the athletic programs"
 
Fusina joined Waynesburg as its head men's basketball coach in the summer of 2019. Under his leadership, the Yellow Jackets roster size has seen an explosion in numbers, and the program enjoyed a fantastic 2021-22 campaign in which it won its first playoff game since the 2014-15 campaign. That same winter, the Orange and Black also qualified for and participated in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament.
 
During his four years at Waynesburg, the Jacket men's hoopsters have had 14 of their own find their names on the PAC Academic Honor Roll heading into this school year.
 
"I am excited to build upon the progress our Athletic Department has made since 2019 when Adam was brought in as our Director of Athletics," Fusina said. "He did an amazing job in stabilizing, growing and improving our department and I am grateful to be taking over as Director of Athletics at Waynesburg University."
 
While best known for his work on the bench and on the court, Fusina is no stranger to the administrative side of Waynesburg athletics. He has served as the University's Assistant Athletic Director for NCAA Compliance since 2020.
 
"We have a great group of coaches and support staff that care about our student-athlete's success academically, athletically and socially," Fusina said. "I look forward to working more closely with each program and providing the support needed for each of our coaches and staff members to reach their goals."
 
Another member of the Waynesburg University Department of Athletics – Dr. L. Randy Pettit – has been promoted from Assistant Athletic Director to Associate Director of Athletics. He will also continue to serve in his other duties within the department as a Strength & Conditioning Coach and Director of the Waynesburg University Fitness Center.
