Minneapolis, MN – North Central University is excited to announce the hiring of Konnor Jusczak as the new Sports Information Director. He will have complete oversight of the Athletic Communications Department on campus. Jusczak was appointed interim Director of Athletic Communications in February of 2023 and was a student intern in the department prior to that.
An alum of North Central, Jusczak completed his undergraduate studies in the spring of 2023, earning a B.S. in Sport Management alongside a minor in Accounting & Finance. His engagement during his time at NCU encompassed various roles within the athletics realm. Most recently, Konnor was appointed Director of Athletic Communications in February, where he assumed all oversight of the department for the spring semester. Prior to this, Jusczak served as an Athletic Communications Intern from 2022-2023, where he operated the athletics website on a day-to-day basis, managed multiple social media profiles, spearheaded cohorts of student workers, and efficiently coordinated NCU's game day operations. From 2020-2022, he served as an athletic communications gameday student-worker where he was primarily an in-game statistician and video live stream operator. During this period, he also was a member of the men's basketball team, appearing in 25 games over two years and earning All-UMAC Academic Team honors in both 2020-21 and 2021-22. Jusczak's leadership extended to his founding role in the North Central Student Athlete Leadership Council (SALC) established in 2021.
Originating from Pine City, Minnesota, Jusczak's formative years were spent at Pine City High School, where he was a 3-time basketball team captain, 2-time football captain, and recipient of the MSHSL Academic All-State Award in 2020. He also currently holds the program record for most wins by any player in Pine City Boys Basketball history.
Konnor had this to say about his new position, "I'm grateful to be given this opportunity to continue my time here with North Central Athletics. It's a privilege to work in an environment filled with others who share the same love of Jesus. I look forward to working day-to-day with the amazing staff that makes up the NCU Athletic Department, as well as other staff and faculty around campus. I'm fully committed to improving the student-athlete experience through the promotion of our athletes and teams. Go Rams!"
Presently residing in Minneapolis with his wife Aaleaha, Konnor will be furthering his education at North Central University by pursuing a graduate degree in Strategic Leadership in Business Administration. He eagerly anticipates propelling NCU Athletics to new heights by amplifying the visibility of its accomplished teams, exceptional student-athletes, and dedicated coaching staff.
