Deputy athletics director and chief of staff Renee Baumgartner, who has held that position at Syracuse since 2011, has left the school to take over as athletic director at Santa Clara University.

Baumgartner oversaw the daily operation of all of SU athletics, according to her Cuse.com profile, and was a liaison with the men’s basketball team and had direct supervision of the volleyball, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

She worked in administration at the University of Oregon for 17 years, where she was the women’s golf coach as well. She graduated from Southern California, the same state as Santa Clara, which is located in the Bay Area.

Santa Clara has been searching for a new athletic director since Dan Coonan left he school in April to work for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, according to the Mercury News.

Baumgartner is the first member of the administration to depart since Syracuse announced the hiring of Mark Coyle on Friday.
