GLENVILLE, WV - Ken Kuhl, Vice President of Event Development at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas and a 1982 Glenville State College graduate, is returning to his alma mater on Friday, November 13 to deliver a presentation about his background, education, and work experience. The presentation will begin at noon in GSC's Mollohan Campus Community Center Ballroom.

Kuhl, who oversees all event operations for major tenants of the center (the Dallas Mavericks professional basketball team and the Dallas Stars professional ice hockey team) also handles booking, marketing, and scheduling of other events held at the American Airlines Center and the AT&T Plaza, an outdoor venue located on the south side of the center.

"I'll be sharing an overview of my education and work experience, and then address what my current job entails and how GSC helped me in my career," said Kuhl. The presentation is free and open to students, faculty and staff, alumni, and local residents.

Kuhl is from Normantown, West Virginia and attended Gilmer County High School before graduating from GSC. He went on to receive a Master's degree in Sports Management from West Virginia University in 1983. His mother, Wilda Kuhl, was a long-time employee in GSC's library.

There will be two door prizes at the event – authentic Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars jerseys.

The GSC Department of Health and Physical Education's Athletic Coaching Program and student organization Professional Business Leaders (PBL) are sponsoring Kuhl's presentation. For more information, contact (304) 462-6211.
