SUNY Polytechnic Institute

David Golembiowski was named Interim Athletic Director at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in the summer of 2026. In this role, he supervises the department’s coaching staff and student employees, oversees athletic event management and operations, coordinates home athletic contests and facility rentals, manages athletic facility scheduling, and oversees department budget management and administrative operations.

He also serves as the advisor to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and is a member of the campus Logistics Committee, Strategic Planning Committee, Commencement Committee, and Wildcat Homecoming Weekend Committee.

During the 2024–25 academic year, Golembiowski helped lead athletics operations through the renovation of the Campus Center Gymnasium. He coordinated the installation and use of a temporary basketball court in the Wildcat Fieldhouse, allowing the men’s and women’s basketball programs to remain on campus during construction. He also played a key role in the Campus Center Gym renovation, which included an upgraded competition space, new locker rooms, and a dedicated student-athlete weight room.

In 2023, Golembiowski was instrumental in the fundraising campaign that resulted in the naming of Kevin Grimmer Court at the Campus Center Gymnasium, honoring the longtime athletics director and head coach while generating support for the student-athlete experience.

Golembiowski joined SUNY Poly Athletics in August 2018 as a Staff Assistant in Athletics and Recreation and has taken on progressively greater administrative responsibilities within the department. Prior to being named Interim Athletic Director, he served as Assistant Athletic Director for Athletic Events and Facilities, overseeing game management, facility operations, student staffing, and athletic events. He has also coordinated and served as the primary administrator for multiple North Atlantic Conference postseason tournaments, including softball, men’s and women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s basketball.

A 2011 graduate of SUNY Poly, Golembiowski was a four-year member of the men’s basketball and baseball programs before playing professional basketball in Germany for seven seasons. He was inducted into the SUNY Poly Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2025 in recognition of his collegiate career.
Golembiowski is a graduate of Holland Patent High School and resides in Barneveld, New York.
