Nina King Reappointed as Duke Athletics Director

Nina King, Duke Universitys Vice President and Director of Athletics, has been reappointed for a second five-year term, continuing her leadership role through June 2031. King, praised for her exceptional leadership during challenging times, oversees all varsity athletic programs, manages finances, and teaches a sports business course at Dukes Fuqua School of Business.
