Cleary, who has been Harvard's sixth Director of Athletics since February 14, 1990, celebrates today his eleventh anniversary as the department's head.
A member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and a gold medal-winning Olympian, Cleary was the men's hockey coach before his appointment as athletic director. In 1989, he led the Crimson to a 31-3 record en route to what remains Harvard's first and only national championship in men's hockey.
