Slonaker named director of UGA Bulldog Club

ATHENS -- Mark Slonaker, whose long history at Georgia includes experience as a player, assistant coach and broadcaster in basketball as well as a recent role in fundraising, has been named executive director of the UGA Bulldog Club.

Slonaker, also the former head coach at Mercer University, succeeds Dave Muia, who held the role in an interim capacity.

Georgia Athletic Director Greg McGarity said Friday that Slonaker will direct the Bulldog Club after three years in a fund-raising capacity as a regional director of the University of Georgia's development team.

Slonaker, a native of Rahway, N.J., played at Georgia from 1976-79. He was a co-captain of Coach Hugh Durham's first team in 1979. He returned as an assistant under Durham before taking over the Mercer program for 11 years (1998-2008).
