Greg Fox was named Director of Athletics and Recreation at Yeshiva University on July 1, 2021, bringing a wealth of leadership experience in NCAA intercollegiate athletics administration on both the Division I and Division III levels. His portfolio includes 15 NCAA Division III sports, club sports, intramurals and campus recreation.
During his five years in Washington Heights, Fox has led the department through a period of significant growth and achievements marked by facility improvements, campus engagement, student-athlete experience and success on the playing fields. The 2025 renovation of Max Stern Athletic Center's sports medicine facility has helped to spearhead interest in other short-term projects on both the Wilf and Beren Campuses.
On the academic side, several YU student-athletes have been named valedictorian in their programs of study, while women's basketball and women's tennis consistently rank among national team leaders in grade-point average.
On campus, Fox has heavily focused on collaborating with colleagues to provide the necessary support to best avoid class conflicts and to help instill a sense of mental wellness in a competitive academic environment.
Fox spent the previous five years as YU's Associate Director of Athletics, working closely with his predecessor, Joe Bednarsh, as the overall program experienced unprecedented success. He oversaw the day-to-day operations on the Wilf campus, including strategic planning, departmental policy, personnel, facility management, home event management, scheduling, and serving as the administrator for eight sports. In 2017, he helped establish the Yeshiva University Athletics Hall of Fame, and as a member of the selection and planning committee, has played a key role in the budgeting and fundraising efforts for its success and sustainability.
Prior to his arrival at YU, Fox served as Director of Madison Square Boys & Girls Club in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He oversaw the management and supervision of approximately 1,000 school-age children at a nationally acclaimed afterschool program.
Fox worked 20 years at LIU Brooklyn, where he served as Associate Director of Athletics for the last 12. He was responsible for most aspects of the program including development, alumni relations, home event management, fan engagement, marketing, brand management and licensing. Fox helped lead a staff of over 60 coaches and administrators, while serving nearly 250 student-athletes. He helped manage the department's annual operating budget and planned and executed LIU's Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony, golf outing, and annual awards banquet.
Fox also served as Chair of the Northeast Conference Marketing Directors from 2010 to 2013 and was a member of the NEC branding committee from 2013 to 2015.
Fox earned his Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from FDU, and his master's degree in human resource management from LIU Brooklyn. He resides in Haworth, N.J., with his wife, Mary Anne, and four children, Dina, Henry, Amelia, and Charlie.
