Player Profile

Position:
Assoc. AD for External Relations

Terry Mohajir was named Florida Atlantic University's Associate Athletics Director for Development in December 2004 and assumed new responsibilities in December of 2006 as the Associate AD for External Relations. The added responsibilities of overseeing Development, marketing, ticket sales, corporate sales and the media relations department is both a compliment to his ability to raise unrestricted dollars necessary to balance the athletic department's budget and the need to centralize efforts.

Since coming to Florida Atlantic he has been heavily involved in creating a comprehensive fundraising program with a focus on major gifts, annual fund and special events. Since Mohajir arrived, the department has enhanced the major gift program 400 percent, and has increased Owl Club giving 130 percent. In addition, the special events revenues have increased 150 percent. He also coordinates all fundraising efforts for the proposed 170 million dollars worth of facilities expansions. His new responsibilities will not take him away from his development responsibilities but, will allow better communication within all our external divisions.

Mohajir joined the staff after serving in a similar role at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. His last appointment at UMKC saw him serve as the assistant athletics director for external relations, a position he held from 1997 to 2004.

As the assistant athletics director for external relations at UMKC, Mohajir oversaw all marketing and promotions, sports information, fundraising, radio and TV contracts, corporate sales, tickets and event operations. While at UMKC, Mohajir was responsible for a 450 percent increase in the educational athletics endowment. He oversaw an 80 percent increase in sponsorships and an 89 percent upswing in the athletics fund donor base. There was also a 33 percent increase in ticket revenue under his direction. One of his more visible accomplishments was leading the fundraising and construction efforts for a new training room and strength and conditioning center.

Mohajir organized the bid and successfully pitched to the conference presidents to host the Mid-Continent Conference men's and women's basketball championship tournaments in 2003 and 2004. He directed and hosted an exempt, eight-team Thanksgiving basketball tournament. He also organized UMKC's effort to land the 2005 NCAA Women's Basketball Midwest Regional. Additionally, Mohajir oversaw the operations of the Hospital Hill Run and the 2002, 2003 and 2004 USA Track and Field Association men's half-marathon national championships. Prior to working at UMKC, Mohajir was a football ticket sales and promotions account executive for the University of Kansas from 1996-97 and was an assistant offensive line and gameday special team's football coach for the Jayhawks from 1993-96. Mohajir graduated from Arkansas State with a major in sports management and a minor in marketing in 1993 where he was a starter on the football team. He earned a master's degree in Sports Management from the University of Kansas in 1997.

Mohajir and his wife Julie have two daughters, Maria (5) and Molly (3).
