Background

About Connor Tomko

As the Assistant Director of Athletic Communications at the University of Illinois, I have the privilege of telling the stories behind the stats, elevating the student-athletes, coaches and programs that make up Fighting Illini Athletics. I currently lead communications, media relations, social media, and website strategy for Illinois baseball, soccer and women’s golf programs, developing proactive plans that spotlight achievements on and off the field. I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and clear, strategic messaging make all the difference. Whether crafting a game recap, managing a press event or building a social media campaign, my goal is always to connect audiences with the moments that matter. With a background in strategic communication and public relations, I enjoy working collaboratively with teams to shape narratives that engage, inform, and inspire. I'm always looking to grow, learn, and contribute to meaningful storytelling in the world of sports.
