Dear Red Wolves Family,
It is a tremendous honor and with great enthusiasm that I have begun my tenure as your Director of Athletics. From my very first moments on campus, I have been inspired by the passion, pride and unity that define our university and our community. Whether you are a lifelong supporter or new to the Red Wolves family, please know that your energy, commitment and spirit are what make our athletics programs truly exceptional and allows our student-athletes to thrive.
Our tradition of excellence is built on the dedication of our student-athletes, the unwavering loyalty of our fans and the collective belief that anything is possible when we work together. As we set our sights on new goals and new horizons, I am committed to fostering an environment where: every student-athlete is empowered to achieve greatness on the field, in the classroom and beyond; every student, faculty member, staff and alum beams with pride of Red Wolves Athletics; and where every fan enjoys a world-class experience at our events.
This is a time of fresh opportunity and renewed determination. Every season brings its own stories of grit, growth and unforgettable moments. I invite you to join us as we cheer for record-breaking achievements and rally together through every challenge. Your presence in the stands, your voice in the crowd and your support behind the scenes are the lifeblood of Arkansas State Athletics.
Let's continue to build a thriving culture that celebrates teamwork, respect and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Let's fill Centennial Bank Stadium, First National Bank Arena and every venue with the roar of passionate fans and the unbreakable bond of community.
Thank you for welcoming me into this remarkable family. I look forward to meeting many of you in the days and weeks ahead, hearing your stories and working side by side as we write the next chapter in Arkansas State Athletics history.
Go Red Wolves!
With gratitude and excitement,
Chris Pezman
Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics
Arkansas State University
