Alan Weinberger, whose involvement with the Boston University athletic program goes back 40 years, was promoted to Associate Athletic Director, Facilities in January 2011.
In his current position, he oversees the athletic facilities including Walter Brown Arena, Nickerson Field, the Case Gymnasium, Faneuil Pool, the BU Softball Field and the Track and Tennis Center.
His responsibilities include scheduling of all athletic practices and camps; coordinating all athletic game management; serving as athletic liaison with the campus police department, catering for special events, parking services and facilities management; and scheduling and billing of facility rentals. Weinberger oversees the administration of all game contracts and coordinates with sport assigners and officials for all teams' competitions.
In addition, he serves as the event manager for all special events at the venues mentioned above and coordinates all athletic banquets. He also is the sport administrator for softball, men's and women's tennis and women's golf.
Weinberger, who received his bachelor's degree in psychology from BU in 1974 and master's of science in rehabilitation counseling from BU in 1976, was a two-year letterman as a goalkeeper for the Terrier men's soccer team. He still holds the school record for saves in a game with 34 in a 1-0 loss to Babson on Sept. 30, 1972.
While in graduate school, Weinberger first joined BU's staff as a facilities assistant while also teaching at night for the veteran's program at Newbury College.
Then, in 1976, he moved into the newly created position of assistant facilities manager. Weinberger remained the assistant until 1993, when he was promoted to the head position, and, three years later, his title was changed to Assistant Athletic Director of Facilities.
In addition, Weinberger has taught in the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation in the University's Sargent College since 2004. The president of the Bay State Road Neighborhood Association, he also serves as an advisor to a student activities club.
