STEPHENS COLLEGE

Stephens College President Dianne Lynch announced today that Ray Fron, head basketball and golf coach, will assume the role of interim Athletics Director, effective immediately. Fron will replace longtime athletics director Deb Duren, who retired this month after more than 30 years of service at the college. Fron is a veteran coach with more than 25 years of experience, having spent much of his career at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Mich., before arriving at Stephens a year ago. He has directed a successful first year of recruiting, with seven high school basketball standouts set to enroll for the 2015-16 academic year. Total student-athlete enrollment next year will hover around 100. – SC-Scene. Read more.
