Senior Associate Athletics Director of Development, Annual Fund, Mitchell White joined the Tennessee Athletics staff in April of 2021.
White came to Knoxville after three years as the assistant AD for development at UNLV, where he oversaw all annual giving, internal operations and communications efforts for the Rebel Athletic Fund. He also served as a major gift officer, was a member of UNLV’s senior staff and external leadership team and was the secondary sport administrator for women’s volleyball.
“Mitch brings a team-centric mentality and a collaborative attitude,” Tennessee Senior Associate AD for Development Brady Hart said. “Based on his accomplishments at Boston College, Georgia and UNLV, I’m confident he’s going to help us modernize and streamline our approach to securing major annual-fund gifts along with other key resources for our student-athletes.”
Prior to his time at UNLV, White made significant impact in development efforts as an associate director at the University of Georgia, where he maintained oversight of the Basketball Enhancement Fund and the Georgia Baseball Fund—both of which set record highs during his tenure. During his stint in Athens, White also closed more than $1 million in gifts supporting UGA’s Magill Society.
After receiving both an undergraduate and graduate degree from Western Kentucky, White served as assistant director with the Flynn Fund at Boston College. In that role, he managed all donor-based seating initiatives along with sales and management of luxury suites, which had a 100-percent occupancy rate during his tenure.
A native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, White and his wife, Courtney, have a son, Maxwell, and a daughter, Madelyn.
