Penn State Athletics host and report Mitch Gerber is leaving Happy Valley for a new gig in college athletics.
Gerber, who served as the face of Penn State football’s postgame show and podcast, will move on to a new chapter with creative agency J1S after spending four years with Penn State Athletics. He’ll presumably help the agency manage its Name, Image, and Likeness efforts with student-athletes.
“It has been one hell of a ride with unforgettable experiences, powerful tories shared, lasting relationships built and a lot accomplished as a brand,” Gerber said on Twitter. “I’m going to miss sharing the impactful stories of Penn State student-athletes, coaches, support staff members, administrators and Nittany Lion fans during some of the biggest moments in collegiate sports.”
When he wasn’t at Beaver Stadium, Gerber often helped Penn State cover its basketball and wrestling teams, too. More recently, he lent a hand at THON by serving as its Pep Rally emcee.
“Penn State is a special place,” Gerber wrote. “Thanks for four memorable years, Penn State Athletics.”
As a broadcast journalism student in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications, I strive to share compelling stories with the public while being accurate, informative, and unbiased. I want to inspire females and Hispanic females like me to follow their dreams and passions.
I have experience with on-air broadcasting as well as production experience from various internships and on-campus opportunities. I am heavily involved on campus with multiple leadership positions, including Producer of Penn State Sports Night, Marketing and podcast coordinator for Penn State Sports Business Conference, Treasurer of Association for Women in Sports Media, and more.
I am originally from Stony Brook, New York and have always been a NY sports fan. I attended Ward Melville High School were I was a Varsity field hockey player. I also was heavily involved with the arts department, in particular video production.
I can portray my ambitious personality, diligence, urgency, and drive with all of my commitments. I contribute each of these traits to everything I do.
