EL PASO, Texas – UTEP Vice President and Director of Athletics Jim Senter announced promotions of two Athletics staff members on Thursday. Christopher Muñoz has been elevated to Director of Graphic Design, and Paul Sandoval to Assistant Athletic Director for Creative Strategy.

"Christopher and Paul are valuable members of our External Relations unit, and we're thrilled to recognize them for their contributions to the team," Senter said. "Christopher is highly skilled and continues to produce tremendous graphic work for us, while assisting with MinerVision productions and our branding program. Paul has headed up all creative efforts, with our MinerVision staff consistently producing innovative, award-winning content."

Muñoz is in his second stint with UTEP Athletics, returning in August of 2023. He has brought a wealth of expertise to amplify the university's brand presence and enhance its visual identity across various platforms. Muñoz has helped build systems to streamline graphic design and brand assets in the fast-paced work environment of college athletics. He also assists with the game day experience, collaborating with Marketing and Van Wagner to help execute themes and sponsorship elements. Muñoz has helped enhance the in-game product for UTEP home games due to his experience working with Daktronics Show Control.

Sandoval has served as Senior Producer for UTEP Athletics since February of 2022, and has been instrumental in elevating the department's creative output and national visibility. He has led the production of high-impact content for all sports, including in-game intro videos, promotional features, and multi-platform campaigns that have generated over 20 million views across UTEP Athletics' social platforms. His work has been central to the success of the department's signature '915' campaign. Sandoval was named Best Photographer and Videographer by the El Paso Times in their Best of the Border awards and, under his leadership, MinerVision earned the title of Best Video Production Company in the 2024 El Paso Inc. Best of El Paso competition.
