WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Greg Christopher, director of the John Purdue Club, will add sport administration to his duties in the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Christopher, who joined the Purdue staff in 1997 as assistant director of the John Purdue Club, will be administrator for men's and women's tennis. The change is effective July 1.
Roger Blalock, associate athletics director, had been administrator of 14 sports, including men's and women's tennis. Morgan Burke, director of intercollegiate athletics, made the move, in part, to ease the administrative burden on Blalock.
"This change allows us to distribute management responsibilities more broadly and to allow Roger to concentrate on the 12 sports he retains," Burke said.
Christopher is also director of development for intercollegiate athletics and in that capacity works closely with development and alumni relations staff in the academic schools and central administration.
