Bob Lowe, Greensboro College's assistant athletics director for communications, has been selected to serve on the College Sports Information Directors (CoSIDA) Board of Directors.
Lowe was hired as The Pride's sports information director in the fall of 1999. He has provided publicity for GC's 16 intercollegiate athletic teams and was promoted last August to assistant AD.
As a member of the CoSIDA Board, Lowe will serve a three-year term beginning with the upcoming 2010-11 athletic year. He will be a college division representative from the Southeast region. Lowe is one of 16 elected board members who represent the more than 2400 sports information professionals in the USA and Canada.
"Bob has done an outstanding job covering Pride athletics, and Greensboro College is proud of this special selection," said Pride Athletics Director Jean Lojko. "He has been on the forefront of many developments in his profession. Bob will offer a great deal to CoSIDA."
Lowe is the driving force behind PrideNet/PrideTV, which offers live and archived broadcasts of Greensboro College athletic events. In addition, Lowe's responsible for upgrading the college's athletic website, including the new greensborocollegesports.com launch in August of 2008.
In 2004 and '05, Lowe served as media coordinator for the NCAA Division III men's and women's soccer championships. These highly successful events were held in the Gate City and hosted by The Pride. The championships returned to Greensboro again in the fall of 2008.
Lowe received two first place regional writing awards in 2000 from CoSIDA. He serves on the new media/technology committee, and has had a number of professional articles published in the CoSIDA Digest. In July of 2008 Lowe was selected to the inaugural D3-SIDA Board: an advisory group that represents NCAA Division III SIDs for CoSIDA.
At the 2000, '01, '04 and '08 CoSIDA conventions, Lowe led discussions regarding broadcasting on the Internet. At the 2004 and '10 convention, Lowe also served on a technology panel. He served as chairman of the CoSIDA New Media/Technology committee from 2003 to '10.
In the summer of 2002, Lowe helped form the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA). Since that time, NCCSIA has honored nearly 1,000 "All State" student-athletes. Lowe previously served as both the organization's treasurer and president.
Lowe was the sports information director at Santa Ana (Calif.) College for three years prior to arriving in Greensboro.
"I'm honored to represent the nation's SIDs," said Lowe. "This an exciting time in our profession, and I look forward to working with a talented board led by President Larry Dougherty and Executive Director John Humenik."
A native of Whittier, Ca., Lowe received a bachelor's degree in journalism from San Diego State University.
