Athletic Director Renee Baumgartner: Dawn of a New Era

Renee Baumgartner has served as the Athletic Director at Santa
Clara since 2015. Baumgartner captained the USC women’s golf team
when she was in college, and played an integral role in starting
the Oregon women’s golf team. She worked in administrative roles
at Oregon and Syracuse before joining Santa Clara with a mission
to revitalize the sports program.


In this episode, we get into some of my big questions about
athletics at a school known for its top-tier education in Silicon
Valley. We discuss what success looks like, and what steps are
being taken to get there. We also explore Renee’s personal golf
career, her coaching philosophy, how she plans to get the student
body involved and how college sports will change in the next 20
years.


This is a short and sweet conversation, and I started out a
little skeptical that Santa Clara cold have a successful sports
program. But, as you’ll hear Renee convinced me otherwise, and
I’m now a believer that great things are coming for Santa Clara
sports.
