ESU Backup Insider

East Stroudsburg University has named Doug Page the university’s sports information director for the promotion of its 22 varsity sports, it was announced Tuesday.

Page was previously assistant sports information director at ESU since November. He replaces Erik Pedersen, who was recently named assistant director of athletic communications at Loyola (Md.).

“We’re very excited to give Doug the opportunity to advance with Warrior Athletics,” said Dr. Gary R. Gray, ESU director of athletics. “I believe his previous experiences along with the work he’s done at ESU make him an ideal candidate for this position.”

As sports information director, Page will coordinate internal and external communications for ESU’s athletic department, including administration of the athletics website, esuwarriors.com, and social media outlets.

He will also be responsible for compiling and distributing statistics for home athletic events, and the promotion of all athletics results and honors attained by Warriors student-athletes and coaches, along with responsibilities in publications, event management, media relations and office administration.

Prior to arriving at ESU last fall, Page was new media coordinator at Barton (N.C.), sports information director at Salem International (W.V.) and sports information intern at Francis Marion (S.C.).

He also worked in broadcasting for several minor league baseball teams, including the Florence RedWolves (S.C.), Williamsport Crosscutters (Pa.), Elmira Pioneers (N.Y.) and Jamestown Jammers (N.Y.).

Page obtained his bachelor’s degree in communications from Medaille College in Buffalo, N.Y. in 2012.
