Slippery Rock University has announced the hiring of 1988 SRU alumna and 2015 Rock Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Dr. Roberta Page as its next director of intercollegiate athletics.
Page, who has served as the director of championships and alliances at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) since 2009, will become the 16th person in SRU history to lead the Athletic Department and the first female to serve in the role full-time. She replaces the longest tenured athletic director in department history, Paul Lueken, who retired in January after more than 26 years in the role.
Dr. Page served as A.D. at Shippensburg from 2003 to 2009 before joining the NCAA.
Page will continue in her role at the NCAA through the spring 2021 championships before beginning her tenure at Slippery Rock in July.
