Oklahoma State Athletics levels up with fundraising dynamo Andrew Hamor from Texas, poised to fuel championship pursuits and revenue growth
STILLWATER, Okla. — In a strategic move to help its fundraising and revenue generation capabilities amid evolving challenges in college sports, Oklahoma State University has welcomed Andrew Hamor to its team.
Hamor will assume the role of Associate Vice President and Deputy Athletic Director for Development within the OSU Foundation, acting as the chief revenue officer dedicated to supporting OSU Athletics.
Bringing over 15 years of expertise in development, revenue strategies, and donor relations, Hamor previously held the position of executive senior associate athletic director at the University of Texas since 2017.
This newly created position is designed to enhance synergy between University Advancement and the POSSE, which serves as the primary fundraising entity for OSU Athletics. Hamor’s responsibilities will include supervising the alignment of development initiatives to streamline resources, improve operational efficiency, and boost fundraising and revenue streams for the athletic programs.
OSU Athletic Director Chad Weiberg expressed enthusiasm about the hire, stating, “In this dynamic period of change in college athletics, it is more important than ever to have innovative leadership, and I am thrilled to have Andrew serving in this new executive position. With his years of experience and demonstrated success, he’s the perfect person to align our fundraising and revenue generation efforts to maximize our resources needed to compete for championships.”
Weiberg also highlighted the personal side of the addition, noting, “Andrew, his wife Kiley, and their son, Ike, will be great additions to the Stillwater community and OSU family.”
To ensure continuity in leadership, Reid Sigmon will remain as the chief operating officer for the athletic department in his capacity as executive deputy athletic director.
Complementing this structure, Larry Reece will retain his position as senior associate athletic director for development, where he will continue to spearhead efforts in identifying, nurturing, and securing major principal gifts for athletics.
Weiberg emphasized OSU’s competitive edge, saying, “Oklahoma State leads the Big 12 in the number of conference and national championships won, and we have no intention of relinquishing that status. Our superpower in that continuing quest for greatness has always been our people. I’m grateful for the outstanding job Reid Sigmon has done in his four-plus years with OSU Athletics. He is highly respected in college athletics and integral in everything we do.”
He added praise for Reece: “There is no one better positioned than Larry Reece to lead the principal gift efforts supporting OSU Athletics. There is no OSU fan that won’t take a call from Larry, and it is critical that we are connecting with every Cowboy and Cowgirl fan that has an interest in helping us compete for championships.
A proud alumnus of Kansas State University, Andrew Hamor holds an undergraduate degree in business management and finance, along with a Master of Science in education.
His career trajectory at K-State began humbly as a compliance assistant, progressing to assistant director of the Ahearn Fund, and culminating in the role of Director of Annual Giving.
In 2013, Hamor transitioned to the University of Texas as assistant athletic director for development and annual giving. During his tenure, he drove remarkable expansion in Longhorn Foundation memberships and annual contributions, marking significant achievements in donor engagement.
Returning to Kansas State in 2015 as associate athletic director for development, Hamor contributed to unprecedented growth. He was instrumental in crafting and executing a master plan campaign for baseball and soccer facilities, while also finalizing fundraising for upgrades to Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Hamor’s second stint at Texas starting in 2017 as executive senior associate athletic director involved overseeing substantial advancements in facility-related fundraising. He played a key role in the $750 million athletics segment of the university’s “What Starts Here” campaign, which ultimately amassed over $1.3 billion in donations for Texas Athletics.
Hamor’s arrival at OSU aligns perfectly with the ongoing momentum of “The Code Calls,” the university’s broad fundraising initiative emphasizing student support.
In his new role, he aims to enhance the overall student-athlete experience, while bolstering investments in top-tier infrastructure and broadening opportunities for all OSU Cowboys and Cowgirls athletes.
This appointment shows Oklahoma State’s commitment to maintaining its championship-caliber programs through strategic leadership and robust community involvement.
