Support for the Master's in Coaching and Athletics Administration in Memory of The Rev. Dr. Dean Vieselmeyer
The Rev. Dr. Dean Vieselmeyer, longtime faculty member at Concordia University Irvine, entered his eternal rest on Friday, October 13, 2023.
Dean, along with his wife Dian, served Concordia for 34 years, filling many integral roles to help build the still fledgling university, then known as Christ College, after their arrival in 1985. A professor of theology, his roles included overseeing residential life, athletics, arts, campus ministry, advising, health services, student government, and freshman orientation. He served as Executive Vice President of the University in the early 2000s. In that role, he worked with the University’s Advancement team to promote Concordia with church and community partners. He ended his career in the university’s Master’s in Coaching and Athletics Administration (MCAA) program, helping to build the program into what would become one of Concordia’s most successful graduate programs, traveling around the country to recruit for the program. He continued to actively promote and support the university even after his official retirement in 2019.
To honor his legacy and commitment to this impactful program, Dean's family lovingly requests donations made to the MCAA Program in his memory. Your support is greatly admired and appreciated.
