He is the only person to lead the University of Massachusetts Boston athletics department. In 2004, he was promoted to Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation, Special Projects, and Intramurals.
In addition to his executive responsibilities, Titus is the only men's basketball coach the Beacons' program has ever known.
