Extractions: Lisa Love, Vice President for University Athletics On Saturday, April 23, 2005, Arizona State University President Michael Crow selected Lisa Love of the University of Southern California to serve as the new Vice President for University Athletics. She began in that capacity July 1, 2005. In June, prior to her ASU arrival, Love had planned to climb 14,162-foot Mount Shasta in northern California, adding yet another accomplishment to an already impressive personal resume. But the opportunity to assume the athletic director's chair at ASU postponed those plans, perhaps to another year. A trailblazer her entire career, Love is now poised for the most challenging and fulfilling climb of her professional life. Love became ASU's 21st athletic director (17th full-time) after taking over for Christine Wilkinson, who is a senior vice president for the university and had been serving as interim athletic director since April 8. Former athletic director Gene Smith left the university April 8 for a similar post at The Ohio State University.
