Michael Blaesing ’96

Development Officer, Athletics & Corporate Relations

B.A. – Monmouth College, communication, 1996

Michael came to Monmouth College from Rushville, Illinois. After a year away from his alma mater, he returned in 1997 to work for the Office of Admission. He moved to the Office of Alumni & Development in 2007, where he served in a couple of roles before being named the Development Officer for Athletics Corporate Relations in Summer 2020.

Michael resides in Monmouth with his wife, Julie ’95, and they have two daughters: Madeline ’24 and Elise.

I was fortunate to play basketball and baseball at Monmouth. My time as a Fighting Scot was made truly special by several major events, including: winning the Midwest Conference baseball championship as a freshman, being part of basketball’s 1,000th program win, playing with multiple Hall of Fame players, and witnessing numerous hitting and scoring records set.

As a proud graduate and employee, I visit with other alumni, friends and fans of the Fighting Scots to help support our student-athletes’ experiences. I also have the pleasure to work with a group of dedicated coaches who are honored to train, coach, teach and mentor our student-athletes.
