WILKES-BARRE, PA (August 13, 2025) -- With fall sports right around the corner, the King's College athletic department and Executive Director of Athletics and Recreation Andy Orlowski has announced the newest change as Bridget Walsh has been elevated to Assistant Athletic Director. Her duties will begin on Monday, August 18.

"Bridget Walsh has been an exceptional asset to the athletics team at King's," said Orlowski.

Bridget consistently demonstrates professionalism, dedication, and a deep commitment to excellence. She is highly organized, hardworking, and talented; always prioritizing the student-athlete experience in everything she does."

Walsh has been with the Monarchs since 2019, first as a graduate assistant in the Sports Information office, then as Director in 2021 before earning the Assistant Athletic Director for Athletic Communications title last year in 2024. She has provided coverage to all 28 varsity programs at King's, including home game coverage with stats and broadcasts, social media and graphic design, and other projects as assigned, as well as the primary athletics contact for the annual Monarch Mayhem crowd-funding campaign.

In the broader King's Community, Walsh serves on the College's Staff Council as their communications specialist and was the recipient of the 2024 All-College Award for administration in recognition of outstanding loyalty, dedication, and leadership to King's College.

"Her collaborative spirit and ability to work seamlessly across departments make her an ideal candidate for this position," added Orlowski. "Bridget's promotion to Assistant Athletic Director is not only well deserved but a natural next step in her career. I am excited to welcome her into our office and confident that she will continue to elevate our department with the same passion and integrity she has always shown."
