When?

In August of 2021!

Kevin White had this to say about stepping down from his Director Of Athletics position!

This unequivocally represents the most difficult professional decision that I have ever made," said White. "As I look forward to completing my 47th year in higher education, including teaching, coaching, and administration, it is simply the right time to step aside and provide a distinct opportunity for both new and different voices, and a more contemporary vision."

Head Duke Football Coach David Cutcliffe had this to say about Kevin White recently!

"Kevin White is legendary in every sense of the word. Legends like Dr. White have stories of their accomplishments shared and told by many, many people. During our time here at Duke, we would not have had any chance to move the needle with the football program without the talent, drive, and work ethic of Dr. White. He is, without doubt, the most talented individual I've encountered during my career in athletics. Karen and I wish he and Jane all the best in retirement; they've earned some real beach time! Our gratitude and well wishes extend to the entire family -- children, their spouses, and grandchildren. Thank you, Dr. White, for making it all happen! Go Duke!" “according to an article on goduke.com
