Lebanon Valley College Names a New Director of Athletics

Lebanon Valley College announces the position of athletic director has been accepted by Rick Beard. Rick emerged as one of two finalists from a national search process that began when Kathy Tierney announced her intention to move on to Bryn Mawr College. More than 80 people applied for the athletic director’s position, and they represented collectively a formidable array of skills and experience.

Rick is able to offer the College the combination of energy, enthusiasm, substantive programmatic knowledge, and commitment to our institutional purposes that best suit LVC’s needs at this time. Rick will bring a leadership style to our intercollegiate athletic programs that honors the collaborative and collegial values that are integral to the College.
