Lee AD Carpenter will retire at the end of the month after 28 years leading the Flames, transitioning to a new role as Special Asst. to the AD. Director of Golf Maupin will succeed Carpenter in the AD chair. President Walker: "When a leader the caliber of Larry Carpenter steps away, we are blessed to have someone like Coach John Maupin to step in as the next Athletic Director of Lee University. Coach Maupin has already had a distinguished career at Lee, establishing himself as a true servant leader who is dedicated to the spiritual, academic, athletic, and leadership development of our student athletes. He is highly respected by his peers inside and outside of Lee. We welcome Coach Maupin as our new athletic director, and we have full confidence that he will continue to build the tradition of excellence that is Lee University Athletics." (link)
