Shane Bell has been hired as the new athletic director at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, effective Jan. 3, 2024.
Bell, a 2006 graduate of the Mount, brings more than a dozen years of experience as both an administrator and a student-athlete. Bell comes to the Mount from the Army West Point Athletic Association, where he spent 12 seasons and was promoted to associate athletic director for operations and event management in 2019. In 2023, he assumed the additional responsibilities of overseeing facilities and capital projects.
“I am truly humbled and appreciative of the opportunity to come back to Mount Saint Mary College as the Director of Athletics,” Bell said. “I fell in love with the Mount when I was still in high school and my years as student-athlete at the college were some of the most rewarding of my life. The ability to come back to campus to lead this department, as we strive for academic and athletic success, is a privilege. My family and I are incredibly excited.”
