When UMBC’s search committee met Tim Hall it was clear he embodied all the characteristics and values ingrained in the campus culture, Dr. Nancy Young, Vice President of Student Affairs, told the crowd at a June news conference. The Baltimore Sun article also highlighted the enthusiasm of the new AD joining a university with strong academics, as well as Division I sports programs.
“I really look at UMBC as an institution athletically that is under the radar and I don’t see any reason why we can’t be one of the best comprehensive Division I programs that doesn’t sponsor football in the country,” Hall said. “It’s a great academic institution.”
