Glenn Toth, who has served the athletic department for more than 25 years, enters his eighth year in charge of both the golf and tennis programs. He served as an assistant coach for the men’s golf team during the 1996-97 season.

An associate athletic director with a variety of responsibilities, Toth recently orchestrated two significant partnerships. July 1, 2005 marked the first day of a six-year renewal with adidas, which will supply shoes and apparel to all Bruin teams. It was also the official start of a new association with International Sports Properties (ISP), which will now handle the department’s corporate relations, media rights, program printing, and web page.

Toth also has administrative responsibility for the athletic equipment room, which designs, outfits and maintains all of the Bruins’ uniforms, practice and playing equipment. In addition, the athletic training room/sports medicine area, which provides injury treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy services to more than 700 student-athletes fall under Toth’s supervision, as does the intercollegiate weight room and strength coaches. He also supervises the Marketing area and its five full-time employees.

Toth graduated from UCLA in 1976 with a degree in economics. He was hired after graduation to work in the events and travel office. From 1978-84, he supervised the management of athletic events and managed football and basketball team travel. In 1982, UCLA football made its move to the Rose Bowl, creating a need for the Athletic Department’s first Marketing Director, a title and function added to Toth’s Assistant Athletic Director status. Promoted to Associate Athletic Director in 1984, he was credited with several award-winning football marketing campaigns. In 1992, he was given duty as the department’s director of corporate relations.

Now a frustrated, mediocre golfer, Toth lettered in golf at Tustin’s Foothill High School, where he graduated in 1972. He enjoys scuba diving, hiking and mountaineering. He also serves as a reserve deputy for the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, performing both patrol and diving duties.
