Eastern Nazarene elevates Assoc. AD/Men’s & Women’s Volleyball HC/Men’s & Women’s Tennis Interim HC Derek Schmitt to AD. He replaces Brad Zarges following the former AD's transition to serve as Chief Experience Officer for the College. Zarges: “Since Derek arrived at ENC, he has been an integral part of the athletic department leadership team. In recent years, as Associate Athletic Director, he has been instrumental in pushing forward with our continual improvement planning and execution. Derek's legacy of success as a coach is evident in every program he has led, which can be attributed, at least in part, to his relentless pursuit of excellence. I have no doubt that he will bring the same work ethic and tenacity to his duties as Director of Athletics. I am excited to see new initiatives under his leadership that will positively impact our student-athletes and campus.” (link)
