NC State’s Director of Athletics Lee Fowler will step down from his post after serving the university for nearly 10 years. Fowler will stay on through the end of June.
Fowler was hired in September 2000, replacing Les Robinson who left for the same position at the Citadel. A statement from Chancellor Randy Woodson mentioned Fowler’s contributions to Wolfpack athletics, including a seven-year, $120 million capital campaign that resulted in new athletic facilities for all university student athletes.
Woodson is expected to name an interim athletic director and begin a national search for his replacement.
In a statement released Tuesday by NC State university, Fowler said, “Naturally I am disappointed that I will not see firsthand the fruits of 10 year’s work, but I have the greatest confidence that with the caliber of facilities and coaches we now have, along with a talented and dedicated administrative staff, the athletics program is poised for great success going forward.”
