Jeff Altier, who began his association with Stetson University as a student-athlete in 1980, will retire as director of athletics next year after 27 years in that position.

Alicia Queally, who has been deputy athletics director since joining Stetson in September 2012, will assume the role of interim athletics director in April 2024.

During Altier’s tenure, Stetson opened the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, the Wilson Athletic Center, Melching Field at Conrad Park, Patricia Wilson Field, the Athletic Training Center, Cooper Beach Volleyball Courts, Edinger Golf Complex and the Sandra Stetson Aquatic Center.

After retiring, Altier will return to the university next August to focus on continuing efforts toward a major renovation of the Edmunds Center and creating an athletics endowment. Both projects are at the top of the university’s list of priorities.
