CAMPAGNA NAMED GNAC ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FOR MEDIA RELATIONS

Dan Campagna has been named the GNAC's Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations

Dan Campagna joined the Emmanuel College staff in the summer of 2011 as the College's first full-time Assistant Sports Information Director. Campagna is an Emmanuel alum and a former three-sport standout student-athlete for the Saints. Campagna is the primary athletic communications contact for eight of Emmanuel's 17 varsity sports programs.

Campagna, a native of Somers, Connecticut, graduated magna cum laude, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in English Communications from Emmanuel in 2007. He earned a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts - Boston in June of 2011. While pursuing his graduate degree, Campagna worked at UMass Boston, as both a Graduate Assistant and later the Interim Director of Sports Information for the Beacons. Campagna directed the sports information efforts for the Beacons' 18 varsity athletic teams.

Campagna is one of nine full-time employees on the Saints' athletic staff. His duties include sports information, game management, site supervision, equipment management and athletic publicity. In addition to his full-time position at Emmanuel, Campagna also serves as volunteer Assistant Coach for the UMass Boston Women's Soccer Team. Campagna, who made his collegiate coaching debut in 2010, is primarily responsible for working with the Beacon goalkeepers. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Sports Journalism at Lasell College in Newton.

Campagna, a former collegiate goalkeeper for the Saints, helped build the foundation for the Emmanuel Men's Soccer program. During his playing days, Campagna enjoyed an impressive career as a four-year starter and two-time team captain. In 2003, he was in net for the program's first-ever victory and graduated holding every single goalkeeping record, including career wins, shutouts, saves and save percentage.

Over the course of his final two playing seasons at Emmanuel, Campagna registered eight shutouts to finish his career with a program-record 12 shutouts. During his junior campaign, the keeper allowed only eight goals the entire season to register a .915 save percentage, which ranked him third among NCAA Division III goaltenders and a 0.85 goals against average.

As a freshman, Campagna was selected the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Rookie of the Week three times and ranked sixth in the NCAA among Division III keepers, averaging 10.62 saves per game. He was named the GNAC Goalkeeper of the Week during both his junior and senior seasons. Campagna went on to lead the GNAC in saves per game during all four of his collegiate seasons and finished his career with 401 saves.

Campagna was a three-time GNAC Academic All-Conference selection and received the Emmanuel College Athletic Department's Senior Leadership Award in 2007. While at Emmanuel, Campagna also competed on the Men's Volleyball and Indoor Track & Field squads, as well as the Baseball club team.
