TITUSVILLE, August 28 – President Michael
A. Worman is pleased to announce the appointment
of Barbara W. Reagle, Ph.D., as the new
University of Pittsburgh at Titusville Athletic
Director. Reagle assumed her duties in early
August.
Since 1990, Reagle served as Director of Student
Development at Venango Campus of Clarion
University. She was Supervisor of Student
Teachers at Allegheny College in early 1990,
Dean of Students at Villa Maria College and
Gannon University from 1987-90, Director of
Student Development at UPT from 1986-87,
Director of Student Activities, Counseling and
Learning Skills at UPT from 1984-86, Assistant
Professor in Physical Education at Goucher
College from 1980-84, and Supervisor of Student
Teachers at Slippery Rock University from
1978-80.
Reagle earned both her Bachelors of Science in
Health, Physical Education, and Recreation and
Masters of Education in Physical Education from
Slippery Rock University in 1978 and 1979. She
earned her Ph.D. in Higher Education from the
University of Pittsburgh in 1986.
While working at Venango Campus, Reagle also
served as retention coordinator, Perkins Grant
coordinator, and was instrumental in the
development of new services, such as
supplemental instruction, on-campus day care,
student-at-risk programs, learning support
groups, mentoring programs and extramurals.
As part of her initial duties as athletic
director at UPT, Reagle recruited a new
basketball coach. She says, “The UPT Athletic
Program is integral to the campus. It is an
important component of the retention and
enrollment management program for the
institution. That was one of the strong selling
points for my acceptance of the UPT Athletic
Director’s position.”
Reagle says she believes strongly in the mission
and philosophy of UPT. “A small campus
atmosphere with the University of Pittsburgh’s
international reputation is a wonderful
opportunity for the students in this area,” says
Reagle. “It will be easy to be a salesperson
for a product like this that I believe in so
much. It will make the athletic recruiting
process that much easier.”
Reagle resides in Titusville with her husband
John and son Breese.
