- B.S., Public Relations, Appalachian State University
Chase Cross joined Lenoir-Rhyne in November 2023 as director of development. Cross built his record for promoting engagement and fundraising as an undergraduate at ASU, beginning as an intern with the Yosef Club, an athletic booster organization similar to the Bears Club at LR. The internship led first to a part-time position as an athletic development assistant. During this time Cross oversaw the Student Yosef Club and facilitated its membership growth from 500 in 2016 to more than 5000 members in 2022.
Based on this and his other accomplishments as a part-time member of the athletic development team, after graduating in 2020, Cross moved up to a full-time role as assistant director of athletic development.
In his new position, Cross is eager to bring together the resources that will support all facets of the Lenoir-Rhyne experience – academics, social networking, career development, artistic expression.
In his free time, Cross describes himself as a National Park fanatic with the goal of visiting all 63 parks in the system. He also loves all college sports, especially football.
