FARMINGDALE, N.Y. | Farmingdale State Director of Athletic Communications
Tom Emberley has been selected to receive the 25-Year Award from College Sports Communicators, recognizing members who have completed 25 years in the intercollegiate athletics communications profession.
The award, presented by CSC's Special Awards Committee, honors longtime communications professionals for their contributions to collegiate athletics and the promotion of student-athletes and athletic programs.
"Receiving an award in recognition of my 25 years in intercollegiate athletics is humbling, to say the very least," said Emberley. "The lifelong friendships, connections, mentors and experiences that I have been fortunate enough to have across my career in this amazing field are nothing short of excellent. In particular, getting to see student-athletes and administrators go on to amazing things is what makes this profession my colleagues and I have chosen so rewarding. Lastly, the unwavering support of my family — in particular my wife Jen and son Tyler — has afforded me the opportunity to have the great experiences that I have in this field."
Emberley has served as Farmingdale State's Director of Athletic Communications since March 2022 and has also been an adjunct assistant professor in the college's sport management program since 2016.

Throughout his career, Emberley has held athletic communications and administrative roles at several institutions and conferences, including SUNY Old Westbury, Yeshiva University, Queens College, LIU Post, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, La Salle University, and the U.S. Naval Academy. He also previously served as assistant commissioner for the City University of New York Athletic Conference and the East Coast Conference.
