Kevin Colon Position: Associate Director of Student Athletics

A veteran of Vanderbilt Athletics, Kevin Colon enters his second year with administrative oversight of the Commodore football program.

Colon serves as Associate Director of Student Athletics, a position he has held for the last six years. His responsibilities also include overseeing three other Vanderbilt varsity programs: baseball, women's indoor and outdoor track and field, and men's and women's cross country.

In June, Colon directed Vanderbilt's on-campus hosting of the NCAA baseball regional and super regionals, and was the team's official NCAA liaison at the College World Series.

A 14-year veteran of the department, Colon formerly administered women's track and field, men's and women's cross country, women's swimming program and baseball prior to 2010.

Colon came to Vanderbilt in 1998 to organize and direct its CHAMPS/Lifeskills program on campus. As CHAMPS/Lifeskills director, Colon directed student-athletes into an expanded role in giving back at Nashville area community efforts, focusing on mentoring local inner-city elementary school students and greater involvement in Nashville-based non-profits. More than a decade later, the program continues as the primary community outreach arm of Vanderbilt Athletics.

Prior to joining Vanderbilt, Colon served two years as Assistant Director of Student Services and academic advisor at Kansas State. He earned an undergraduate degree at Iowa State and master's degree at Toledo.

Colon has a son, DuBois.
