Lenoir-Rhyne VP for Athletics Kim Pate has resigned, effective today. Pate: “Today is bittersweet as I conclude my time at LR and feel called to pursue another opportunity in athletics. It has been an absolute privilege to serve alongside an amazing group of coaches and athletic administrators who truly value and prioritize the student-athlete experience. Although my family and I have truly loved every minute of being a part of the Bears Family, it is time for us to embark on a new and exciting chapter.” (link)
