Muffenbier Leaving Ball State
College Sports Information Directors of America
Kathy Muffenbier, who has been a member of the Ball State athletics staff since 1990, has announced her resignation to become the director of public relations for ReMAX of Indiana based out of Indianapolis. Her last day at Ball State will be Sept. 1.
"Kathy has been a very valuable member of our staff for a very long time," associate athletics director for external affairs Joe Hernandez says. "She has done an outstanding job getting the word of Ball State athletics out to our fans, alumni and general public.
She has worked very closely with the majority of sports programs at Ball State, and had an outstanding relationship with the coaches and student-athletes. Her work has been excellent over a long period of time, and we will miss her a great deal."
Muffenbier was a graduate assistant in the Ball State sports information office in 1987-88 under the tutelage of former sports information director Earl Yestingsmeier. She then spent two years as the assistant information director in the Mid-American Conference office. Upon Yestingsmeier's retirement from the SID office in 1990, Hernandez hired Muffenbier as a fulltime assistant SID. In 1995, she was promoted to associate director of athletics communications. In 2003 when the communications and marketing offices merged at Ball State, Muffenbier became the director of athletics communications and marketing.
In the past three years she has directly supervised a staff of three fulltime employees and two graduate assistants plus numerous gameday personnel. In addition, she handled the day-to-day communications efforts, print advertising and assisted with marketing for a variety of sports in her 16 years at Ball State. Muffenbier also helped with the coordination of Ball State's Athletics Hall of Fame and all academic and athletic awards for the school's student-athletes.
