Dennis Kalina fully admits that it was easier to garner large donation asks while at men’s basketball powerhouse Gonzaga University as associate athletic director of external relations than Kalina’s new challenge as senior associate athletic director at Binghamton. But Kalina says that he is embracing his new experience, not only as a component of the Bearcats’ senior management team, but also focus on spearheading the department’s fundraising, marketing and ticketing campaigns. Kalina talks about the dynamics of how the paradigm changed toward marketing and ticket selling for college campuses, as well as how his experiences have helped guide him along a path toward becoming a candidate for an athletic director position down the road.
