New manager of athletics appointed

McMaster's Department of Athletics & Recreation has appointed Tim Louks as its new manager of athletics.

Louks has worked for the Department of Athletics and Recreation since 1988 and has held various positions including: women's volleyball coach; co-ordinator of intramurals; co-ordinator of clubs and the director of the McMaster Sports Fitness School. Louks was a recipient of the prestigious McMaster President's Staff award in 1998 for his outstanding commitment and service to the University.

Louks brings valuable experience to his new role having represented
McMaster at the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) and Canadian Interuniversity Sport meetings for the past four years and serving
on the OUA Sport Technical Committee for the past three years.

Despite his new position, Louks will continue to coach the women's
volleyball team. He has coached volleyball at McMaster since 1984,
spending three years coaching the men's team (1984-87) and the last eight years coaching the women's volleyball team (1988-present). In his tenure, he has twice been named the OWIAA (now OUA) coach of the year (1990-91 & 1997-98).

Louks holds two degrees from McMaster University and as a student-athlete was a two-time Most Valuable Player in men's volleyball.

“We are pleased that Tim will be taking on this role at McMaster,” said director of athletics and recreation Therese Quigley. “Tim is an excellent leader, and wonderful ambassador of the university.”

Robert Hilson is manager of marketing and communications, athletics and recreation
