Pate Named Athletic Director
by Joseph Chilton
Editor in Chief
After six graeling months of waiting, Kim
Pate can finally remove the interim tag from
her job title.
Pate, who has served as EC’s Interim
Athletic Director since October, was named
Athletic Director last week in a statement
released by the College.
After Tom Colhns was fired last
October, Pate filled the AD position
on an interim basis, and in doing
so showed a level of competency
that qualified her to full the position
fulltime.
“She has maintained the college’s
commitment to a strong compliance
program, assumed responsibility
for completing the final phase of
provisional membership with the
NCAA, represented Brevard
College in the South Atlantic
Conference, and has managed the
athletic program,” said a statement
released on Brevard College’s
website.
Pate, a 2003 Brevard College
graduate and a former Tornado
athlete, realizes that she has her
work cut out for her in taking over
the reins of the Athletic
Department in the midst of BC’s
move to NCAA Division 11
membership.
“This is an important time in the
history of our college, and it’s so exciting
to be taking over in the middle of this stage,”
Pate said.
“1 wouldn’t have it any other way. There
is so much that 1 want to do. I’m just trying
to figure out what projects are important
and then move those along.”
Before taking over as Interim Athletic
Director, Pate was BC’s Director of
Compliance and Senior Women’s
Administrator She initially took over for
Collins out of the necessity of having
somebody fill the vacancy, but soon realized
that the AD position was something that
she would be interested in.
“Becoming the AD was a process that
really evolved. 1 first went into the interim
not assuming that I’d become the AD,” Pate
said.
“But then 1 started doing the job and
realized, ‘Hey, 1 can do this. ’”
Considering the monumental challenges
put on the horizon for the Athletic
Department by moving to the NCAA, that
is probably not a bad attitude to have.
