Pumroy, who is completing his third season as the head of the Vikings' athletic department, will start as the new director of athletics at Shepherd University on June 30.
During the 2009-10 school year, Pumroy helped lead the department through the recovery of on campus flooding in the spring of 2009 and the relocation of Viking volleyball home matches throughout their season and men's and women's basketball home games prior to the new year due to structural damage to the Fieldhouse.
