Jerry Koloskie back in the saddle again

Well, it didn’t take Jerry Koloskie, Class of 1975, long to get back into the college athletic department game.

He’s the new deputy athletic director at the University of Albany in New York.

Jerry was named University of Nevada-Las Vegas Interim Athletics Director in 2009, after former UNLV Athletics Director Mike Hamrick accepted the same position at Marshall University. Jerry was with the UNLV athletics department from 1982-2014.

So he only stayed away from athletic departments for 12 months.

Jerry posted:

“Really looking forward to this spring. Again, thanks everyone for your support and Go Danes! And yes, it is cold. Dank!”

Jerry's father is John Koloskie, Jr., Class of 1944, widower of Julia Monell Koloskie, also Class of 1944. 

Julia’s brother is the late Raymond “Soak” Monell, whose widow is Elaine Hewitt Monell, Class of 1949, of the Dayton, Ohio suburb of Riverside.

Jerry played baseball for two years at Marietta (Ohio) College before graduating with a bachelor's degree from West Virginia University in 1980.

He and his wife, portrait artist Annette, have three children: sons John and Jim, and a daughter, Megan, as well as a granddaughter, Kayden. Megan Koloskie is a teacher at Somerset Academy Okey-Las Vegas. 

Jerry and Annette met at Iowa State when Jerry was getting his master’s degree.
