Duane P. Herr is the director of Athletics at Anne Arundel Community College. He’s also an AACC alumnus and former student athlete. Herr's experiences taught him to value professionalism and sportsmanship, which he believes are platforms to success in college and beyond.
Herr's accomplishments leading AACC's Athletics department are many. In his first year, he hosted the Women's Lacrosse National Tournament on AACC’s Arnold campus. In 2015, he assisted in the coordination of a major branding and engagement initiative within the institution, transitioning AACC's mascot from the "Pioneers" to the "Riverhawks." In the fall of that same year, the Athletic department launched the Athletic Director Honor Roll which acknowledges student-athletes earning grade point averages of 3.0 or higher during their term of participation.
Herr has a bachelor’s degree in sports management with a minor in business administration. He lives in Annapolis with his wife and two children.

Before coming to AACC, Anderson was compliance coordinator in the Athletics department at Coppin State University and was a graduate assistant in the Athletics department at Delaware State University.
