In this position, Elliott will oversee Monmouth’s efforts in revenue generation, corporate partnerships, and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) initiatives. He will play a key role in advancing the department’s external relations strategy, identifying new opportunities for growth and engagement with alumni, corporate partners, and the Monmouth community.
Elliott most recently served as Senior Director of University Development at Seton Hall University, where he led comprehensive fundraising strategies aligned with the university’s capital campaign.

Elliott’s distinguished career in college athletics includes a decade as Director of Athletics at Binghamton University, where he guided 21 Division I programs and secured transformational philanthropic support—including the largest gift in SUNY history. He previously served as Director of Athletics at Saint Peter’s University and as a senior athletics administrator at St. John’s University and Seton Hall University, his alma mater.
A former Seton Hall men’s basketball assistant coach, Elliott earned his Ph.D. in Performance Psychology from Grand Canyon University, focusing his dissertation on grit and athletic performance among student-athletes. He also holds both a Master of Arts in Education and a Bachelor of Science in Management and Industrial Relations from Seton Hall.
