Schramm lands college AD job

Joe Schramm didn't stay retired for long.

Schramm, who retired in June as athletic director at Cherokee after 18 years, has been named athletic director at Burlington County College. He will take over as the AD on Aug. 2.

"I'm excited about a new career in a field I've always been part of, both athletics and education," Schramm said in a news release from the college. "This is an exciting time for community colleges in general and BCC in particular."

Schramm will oversee seven sports – men's and women's soccer and basketball, softball, baseball, and golf. He also will oversee the college's intramural programs.

Upon retiring from Cherokee, Schramm said he hoped to pursue other ventures, and that led him to his new position.
