Camden County College is excited to introduce Boye Akinsiku as our new Assistant Athletic Director. With a personal connection to community colleges and experience in coaching and athletic administration across all three NCAA levels and high school, Boye brings a well-rounded perspective to the Athletics Department.
Boye began his higher education journey at Middlesex County College before transferring to William Paterson University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management. He later completed a master’s degree in Sport Administration, with a certificate in Coaching Theories & Strategies. As an alumnus of Middlesex County College, Boye knows firsthand the pivotal role community colleges play in laying the groundwork for students’ futures, both academically and personally.
“Community college means a lot to me. It’s how I learned to be a better student, manage my time and set realistic, attainable goals,” Boye recalled. “My time at MCC really jump-started my whole academic career and gave me the necessary skills needed to grow and become successful.”
Boye’s professional background is rooted in college men’s basketball coaching across all three NCAA levels. While pursuing his Master’s at Fairleigh Dickinson University, he began as a Manager for the Men’s Basketball team. He later served as an Assistant Coach at City College of New York and Fairleigh Dickinson University–Florham, both NCAA Division III programs. Boye then transitioned to NCAA Division I, taking on the role of Director of Operations at Fairleigh Dickinson University–Teaneck. He next relocated to Delaware, where he joined NCAA Division II Goldey-Beacom College as an Assistant Coach. Most recently, he served as Athletic Director at a charter high school in Wilmington, DE.
Boye’s professional background laid a strong foundation for his role as Assistant Athletic Director, and now, he’s ready to give back to the community college environment that played a key role in his own journey.
“I have a passion for helping students achieve their academic and athletic goals,” Boye affirmed. “I also want to give back to a community that gave so much to me and assist student-athletes with their transitions to other colleges or universities.” Junior college athletic programs offer students the opportunity to further develop their talents while making the best financial and academic decision for their future. Boye hopes he can encourage student-athletes to consider continuing their athletic pursuits at the junior college level.
“Participation in athletics doesn’t have to stop after high school if you’re not recruited to play sports at the four-year college level,” said Boye. “There are quality community college options that allow you to keep chasing your athletic goals, while offering more personalized support than many four-year schools can provide.”
As he embarks on this new role, Boye is looking forward to growing under the guidance of Athletic Director Fred Carella, and being an integral part of the team of coaches, faculty, and administrators who are dedicated to the academic and athletic success of students.
“I hope my impact at CCC will be long lasting, not just for the current student-athletes, but future ones years down the road,” Boye shared. “I want to add programs that students are interested in, generate excitement and a sense of pride within the student community, and ultimately, win. I look forward to playing a role in taking CCC to the next level.”
