Bio
Jeff Siegel enters his 19th season at RIT in 2023-24. Promoted to Associate Director of Intercollegiate Athletics in 2016, Siegel was previously the Assistant Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Men's Hockey Operations Manager.
In his expanded role, Siegel oversees all aspects of game and event management for all of RIT's 22 Division III and two Division I sports, game scheduling, student employee supervision, and several other responsibilities within the athletics department.
As assistant athletics director, Siegel managed all aspects of RIT's Division I men's hockey game day management, travel, and equipment operations and supervised the student-athlete equipment cage. Siegel also assisted the athletics department with event management, facility management, budgeting associated with team travel, capital projects, intercession planning as well as maintaining responsibility for three equipment operations.
Since 2010, Siegel has spearheaded several fundraising initiatives through the men’s and women’s hockey programs for organizations such as Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation for Breast Cancer Education and Awareness, CURE Childhood Cancer, Autism Up, "One Team One Fight", and the Testicular Cancer Foundation of Western New York. Most recently, Siegel has helped the RIT Student-Athlete Advisory Committee implement an “Adopt a Family” initiative during the holiday season.
Since arriving at the university in 2006, Siegel has been an invaluable asset to not only the hockey programs, but also the entire athletics department, helping streamline pre and post-game day operations.
In 2015, Siegel graduated from RIT with a master’s degree in professional studies from the school of individualized study. His concentrations were project management and marketing.
Siegel graduated from New England College in 2006 with a degree in sports and recreation management and also worked as the equipment manager for the men’s ice hockey team along with handling game operations and coordinating community relations. He was named Sport and Recreation Management Student of the Year as a senior.
