Add another duty to the list of Fort Lewis College president Dene Kay Thomas.
Thomas was elected as chair of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference President’s Council in April. She was elected by the presidents of the colleges represented in the RMAC.
“Athletics and active campuses are important parts of the college experience,” Thomas said in a news release. “In working with the RMAC, my goal is to make sure our student-athletes get the opportunities they need, both on the field and in the classroom, and that athletics is used to enrich the lives of all the students at all the RMAC schools.”
Thomas will succeed Metro State’s Stephen Jordan, whose term ended this year.
The voting took place in April. Colorado Mesa’s Tim Foster will serve as vice chair to Thomas.
There currently are 15 member institutions in the RMAC from across Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and South Dakota. The RMAC boasts 50 NCAA Division II national championships in the last 20 years.
