Joshua Dinkelman joined the UNI communications staff in 2023. A Glenview, Illinois native and two-time graduate of Concordia University Wisconsin, Dinkelman comes to UNI after serving as Concordia Wisconsin's Assistant Director of Athletic Communications in Mequon, Wisconsin.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Josh to the UNI family and have him part of our athletic communications team,” said UNI Assistant Athletic Director for Communication Joel Wauters. “In his time at Concordia, he has displayed exemplary skill in telling the stories of his team’s student-athletes through various mediums, including social media and written works. Our team is eager to have a passionate and dedicated sports communication professional such as him join our ranks and represent the Panthers.”
At Concordia Wisconsin, Dinkelman helped manage media relations, publications and team statistics for the Falcons’ 33 NCAA Division III athletic teams, while also maintaining the official athletic department website. He also helped generate content for team social media accounts, oversaw home game live streaming and the production of the Falcon Focus, a weekly video series highlighting student-athlete stories and competition.
As a student at Concordia, Dinkelman played libero and outside during the first years of the Falcons’ men’s volleyball program, appearing in 41 matches. At that time, he also served as a student assistant in the athletic communications office, assisting in multiple facets of gameday operations, including a focus in statistics. He earned the Department of Athletic Communications Student of the Year Award as a senior as he completed a bachelor’s degree in sports and entertainment management, as well as a master’s degree in strategic marketing.
Dinkelman currently resides in Waterloo with his wife, Emily and their dog, Baxter.
