Bio
Terrance J. Tumey began on July 1, 2016 as the Claremont McKenna-Harvey Mudd-Scripps Colleges (CMS) Director of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation and William B. Arce and George R. Roberts Fellow Instructor of Physical Education. He is the fifth Director of Athletics in CMS history.
Tumey comes to CMS with a strong commitment to the personal growth of the student-athlete and rich experience in a diverse range of professional and academic institutions. He has served as an NCAA athletic director at both D-I and D-II levels and as a top administrator in the National Football League.
Prior to taking over at CMS, Tumey most recently served as the Senior Advisor to the President for Intercollegiate Athletics Success at Holy Names University (Calif.).
Before transitioning to Holy Names, he was Director of Athletics at the University of California, Davis, where he expanded the profile of the university regionally and nationally, and secured funding in excess of $11 million to support student achievements within NCAA Division I athletics.
He also held the position of Director of Athletics at NCAA Division II Dominican University of California. Dominican athletics received the Pacific West Conference’s (PWC) Academic Achievement Award for highest student-athlete grade-point average for three straight years. Dominican was the first institution in conference history to repeat this achievement.
For several years before his terms as athletic director, Terry also served as the Director of Football Administration for the San Francisco 49ers and directed the financial operations for the team, managed administrative issues for team employees including the coaching staff, oversaw contract negotiations and dispute resolution, worked with the NFL on game scheduling, and led the team’s training camp relocation.
Terry holds an M.B.A. from the UCLA Anderson School of Management with a focus on entrepreneurship and strategy and a B.A. in Political Science from UCLA with a concentration in business economics.
Originally from Tulsa, Okla., Terry was a three-time All-Pacific 10 Conference nose guard as a football player UCLA. The Bruins went 36-10-2 in his career, winning conference titles in 1985 and 1987. He served as an assistant coach for the Bruins until 1998. Tumey then assisted Mike Shanahan on the Denver Broncos' staff during the 1999 and 2000 seasons before moving from the field to the front office.
