Rick Dickson, a Tulsa native who led The University of Tulsa's athletics program in the early 1990s, was named Interim Director of Athletics today by TU Interim President Janet K. Levit.
Dickson's prolific career includes five years as Athletic Director at The University of Tulsa from 1990 to 1994 before leading athletic programs at Washington State University (1994-2000) and Tulane University (2000-2015). Programs under Dickson's leadership saw dozens of conference championships and scores well above the national average in the NCAA's Academic Performance Rates.
"We are thrilled to have someone of Rick's caliber during this transition to lead our student-athletes and Athletics Department," Levit said.
