Steve Marovich has been the glue that has held the sports information department at Carthage College together for more than two decades, while helping the profession evolve and grow.  Marovich retired as sports information director at the end of the 2014-15 academic year, although he continues to work at Carthage in a part-time capacity.

He was a graduate assistant at Western Michigan from 1987-89.  After serving as the first-ever sports information director at Nazareth College in Kalamazoo, Mich., from 1989 to 1991, he began his Carthage career in October of 1994.
 
"Steve has been one of the top NCAA Division III sports information directors in the country for more than 20 years," said Robert Bonn, director of athletics at Carthage. "He has been an integral part of the Carthage athletic success over the years and is solely responsible for telling our story.
