JOHN GARNER ('77):  John Garner began his career as a member of the varsity basketball team, but has become more well-known for his publicizing of Panther athletics. A native of Scarborough, Maine, Garner served as PSC’s sports information director from 1981-86. Perhaps his crowning moment came in 1985, when he was instrumental in helping get former PSC football star Joe Dudek on the Dec. 2nd cover of Sports Illustrated.

Garner has served as Assistant Commissioner of the ECAC since 1986, where his duties include being the Director of Public Relations, ECAC Championships administrator, and publications and advertising coordinator. He is also in charge of special events such as the ECAC Holiday Festival, Television and membership.
