He brings a collaborative mindset and professionalism to our department and will make an immediate impact on student-athletes and their success on and off the competition field."
Prior to working for the SUNY system, Krohn-Kline spent a year at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. where he was the assistant director of digital content in the department of advancement. There, he designed digital strategies to engage alumni, donors and corporate partners that generated 1.7 million impressions and 139,000 engagements while helping raise over $300,000 for the university.
Krohn-Kline spent the first five years of his professional career working in sports information, most recently at Division III Marymount University in Arlington, Va. as assistant director of athletics communications before being promoted to associate director.

Krohn-Kline also served as the athletic department's lead graphic designer and video editor while directing a 20-person student staff.
From 2018-20, Krohn-Kline worked as a sports information assistant at his alma mater, Elmira College, in New York while working on his master's. There, he supported communications efforts for 20 varsity programs while leading visual content production and assisting in a department-wide rebranding initiative.
