Longtime Harvard Athletic Director Retires
Bob Scalise (MBA 1989), who has spent more than four decades working in various roles at Harvard, announced that he will be stepping down at the end of the calendar year.
As noted by the Harvard Gazette, Scalise spent his last 19 years at the school as director of the Harvard Athletics Department, overseeing some 42 intercollegiate teams. Scalise joined the department in 1974 as the head coach of the men’s lacrosse team, later becoming the first head coach of women’s soccer. Since he became director in 2001, the Gazette notes, “Harvard has won 22 national championships and 144 Ivy League titles, 46 of which were won by the class of 2017, a new Harvard record for most conference titles by a graduating class.”
“My family and I are tremendously proud and very grateful to have had the opportunity to share our lives with this great institution,” Scalise wrote in a message to Harvard colleagues. “I have been so fortunate to have worked with and for great people during my time at Harvard. I am proud of what we have built together and know that Harvard Athletics will continue to thrive in the years ahead.”
