The Tulane University athletic department announced a series of internal moves this week, featuring one new hire and seven staff promotions. The changes aim to strengthen the department's leadership structure as the Green Wave continues to build on recent athletic successes across multiple sports.

Among the promotions, several long-time staff members will take on expanded roles in areas including compliance, sports medicine, and external operations. The new hire joins the department in a senior administrative capacity, bringing experience from a previous role at a fellow American Athletic Conference institution.

Athletic Director David Harris emphasized that the moves reflect a commitment to retaining top talent within the program. "These individuals have been instrumental in elevating our department," Harris said in a statement. "We are proud to recognize their contributions and provide them with new opportunities to lead."

The reshuffling comes as Tulane prepares for the upcoming academic year, with the football program aiming to defend its conference title and basketball programs seeking to improve their standings. No other personnel changes were disclosed, and the department confirmed that all affected staff members have already begun transitioning into their new positions.
