After serving as the interim director for the past year, Nicholas Jallat was officially named the SUNY Oneonta Sports Information Director, as announced by Director of Athletics Ryan Hooper this summer. Jallat was the interim director from the summer of 2022 to the spring of 2023. 

"I'm pleased to officially announce and welcome Nick Jallat as our Sports Information Director," said Hooper. "As the interim this past year, Nick stepped into one of our most important roles within our Athletic Department, which was no easy task. However, he was able to put his touch on a Sports Information Department that already had a solid foundation. His graphics and social media presence continued to enhance the marketing and promotion of our Athletic Department and student-athletes. I'm very excited to see how this area will continue to grow under Nick's leadership and vision. " 

In his first year at Oneonta, Jallat helped enhance the Oneonta athletics brand through the website, social media, and other platforms. Along with his assistant, the sports information office maintained statistics for all home events while increasing the coverage for all 21 varsity teams.

Jallat previously worked for four years at Vassar College as the Assistant Director of Athletic Communications. While there, Jallat worked with Vassar's 27 teams, providing gameday statistics, department publications, and media productions while increasing the department's social media presence. In 2021, Jallat was the communications representative when Vassar hosted the first round of the NCAA Division III Field Hockey Tournament. He also trained and supervised student workers as photographers, PA announcers, camera operators, and broadcasters for events.  

Jallat previously served as an athletic communications assistant at King's College in Wilkes-Barre, PA, working with all 24 varsity sports regarding stats, game-day coverage, and website maintenance.

Before King's, Jallat was the athletic communications historical research intern at Harvard University. He mainly prepared and maintained the athletic department's Hall of History, an interactive display showcasing Harvard's athletic history from its beginnings. This included writing content, creating graphics, and updating statistics and records.

Before his time at Harvard, Jallat served in the athletic communications department at Yale University, where he assisted in writing feature stories, preparing media credentials, and covering football, men's ice hockey, and men's lacrosse games. Jallat served a similar role at Southern Connecticut State University while keeping score for all volleyball contests and filming highlights for men's and women's soccer, football, and field hockey.

Jallat began his professional career in athletics as an assistant coach for the cross country and track teams at Notre Dame High School in West Haven, CT, where he organized practices and recorded all times.

A native of Seymour, CT, Jallat was a four-year member of the King's College cross country and track teams. He earned his bachelor's degree in professional writing and English literature from King's in 2014 and graduated from Messiah College with a master's in college athletic management in May 2017.
