New Hampshire's Ray to combine programs

New Hampshire is one of five Division I schools supporting separate men's and women's athletics departments. Part of Ray's duties will be to organize the changes necessary to integrate the men's and women's departments. A major focus of the new organization will be fund-raising.

Gib Chapman, director of men's athletics and head men's basketball coach, resigned from those positions but will continue as a consultant to the president's office until the end of the year, when he plans to pursue other professional interests.

Before joining the New Hampshire staff in 1990, Ray was assistant athletics director for academic student affairs at New Mexico. She also was women's athletics director and volleyball coach at North Dakota State.

Ray has a bachelor's degree in secondary education from Western Montana, a master's degree in physical education from North Dakota and a doctorate in educational administration from New Mexico.
