During his tenure at ODU, he directed major initiatives across Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) strategy, revenue-sharing models, academic success, and corporate partnerships.

"We are excited to welcome Dr. Ron Moses to the RMU family," said University President Dr. Michelle L. Patrick. "His vision for student-athlete excellence, paired with a track record of strategic growth, academic success, and athletic leadership, makes him uniquely qualified to lead RMU Athletics into the future. Ron is a proven community builder, and I am confident he will rally our campus, our alumni, and our community to support and celebrate our student athletes.”

In addition to his administrative experience at the Division I level, Moses currently serves as Vice Chair of the NCAA Division I Committee on Academics and previously served as President of the National Association of Academic and Student-Athlete Development Professionals (N4A). Before ODU, he held academic and administrative roles at the University of Missouri, Georgia State University, the University of South Florida, and Kansas State University.

A proud veteran of the U.S. Army and Army National Guard, Moses holds a bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Georgia, a master’s degree in Sports Administration from Western Kentucky University, a master's degree in Leadership and Human Resource Development from Louisiana State University, and a Ph.D. in Counseling and Student Development from Kansas State University.

"Robert Morris University is a place where excellence and opportunity meet," said Moses. "I'm honored by the trust President Patrick and the hiring committee have placed in me, and grateful to everyone across campus who made this process so welcoming. My commitment is clear: we will build a program where student-athletes graduate, compete for championships, and represent RMU with pride. We want RMU Athletics to be a rallying point for our campus, our alumni, Moon Township, and the entire Pittsburgh region. Building that legacy takes all of us. To the RMU community - thank you in advance for your support. Let’s get to work."
