Jesse T. Hile
Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs

 

Born in Greencastle into a household of graduates of Indiana State Unviersity, Jesse admits that he had a Larry Bird jersey on his bedroom wall as a child. As fate would have it, he, too, became a graduate of ISU. His mother, Jan (Bilyeu) Swingley, graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in elementary and early childhood. His father, Glenn Hile, also a graduate of ISU, teaches and coaches at Greencastle High School. His older brother opted to go to Purdue, graduated with a degree in aeronautical engineering and is now a jet propulsion specialist and 1st Lt. at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH. Glenn's wife is beginning law school this fall. Jesse's younger sister attends Indiana University, but there is still time to convert her, perhaps. The past year Jesse served as the Assistant Athletics Business Manager under the supervision of alumnae Angie Menser Lansing and is currently working on his master's degree in Human Resource Development. Jesse was hired on as the Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs this August of 2007. "I am very excited about still being a part of ISU and to keep on establishing great alumni relations across the United States and world," he says. "I look forward to meeting upcoming ISU students and their families, along with those who have experienced campus life here in the past. Sycamore friends continue to grow over the years, and I am very pleased to be a part of the great tradition."
