South Alabama athletic director Dr. Joel Erdmann announced new leadership and structure for its Facilities and Event Operations staff.
“We are very excited to have Victor Cohen leading our facilities and events efforts,” Erdmann said. “He has a strong history of managing events here and elsewhere. His knowledge of campus and community resources combined with established relationships allows him to hit the ground running as we head into the fall.”
Cohen will lead the department as the Associate Athletics Director for Facilities and Event Operations while maintaining his role as the Arena Manager of the Mitchell Center. He will be the point person for football game day operations and other events held at Hancock Whitney Stadium. Cohen came to South Alabama in 2002 as the manager of the Mitchell Center, Moulton Tower & Alumni Plaza, and USA Faculty Club following an extensive career dating back to 1984.
He began his career in 1984 as the Assistant Director of the Stephen C. O’Connell Center at the University of Florida, before moving to the assistant director role for the Sun Dome at South Florida for two years. He became the Assistant General Manager assigned to Miami Arena for Leisure Management Miami in 1988, before working his way to Assistant Vice President (1990-1992) and Assistant Vice President & General Manager (1992-1995) in the arena. He also served as the Vice President & General Manager assigned to the Pyramid Arena in Memphis (1995-1999) before arriving at South Alabama.
