Vanderbilt extended the contract of reappointed AD Candice Storey Lee on Friday. The news came out in a Vanderbilt press release.
Lee has been the Commodores’ full-time AD for three years now. The extension will be for five years, starting on July 1.
Here’s what Lee had to say about the extension:
“I’m grateful to Chancellor Diermeier for his partnership and commitment to our shared vision for what is possible at Vanderbilt. It’s an honor to serve the student-athletes who choose to be Commodores and the lifelong community of alumni and supporters who make this university special,” Lee said. “And a special thank you to our dedicated coaches and staff and my campus colleagues for their trust and support.
“As a new athletic year approaches and we move forward, much hard work remains,” Lee said. “But with each shovel in the ground and each victory on the field of play, we dare to grow. I know the best days are ahead for Commodore Nation. I can’t wait to continue our journey.”
Lee actually played women’s basketball for Vanderbilt in the late 1990s. After her playing career was over, she started her administration career at Vanderbilt in 2002 working under former AD David Williams.
Vanderbilt fans will find comfort in knowing that their AD will be sticking around.
