LAKE CITY, Fla. – After five years leading FGC Athletics, Rebecca Golden will be taking on a new role with The Foundation for Florida Gateway College.

“When FGC restarted athletics after nine years, one of the individuals I wanted to help guide us through the startup was Rebecca,” said FGC President Dr. Lawrence Barrett. “I am thankful for her leadership during this successful tenure, and I look forward to her putting her skills to work with the Foundation, helping our entire student body and campus.”

Golden was selected as Coordinator, later becoming Athletic Director, when intercollegiate sports were reinstated at FGC in the 2017-2018 academic year. Since then, she has overseen the introduction of multiple new and returning programs, including basketball, volleyball, cross country, and esports.

“We were lucky to have Rebecca’s leadership to help shepherd in this new era of Florida Gateway College Athletics,” said Tony Cardenas, FGC Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. “I wish her all the best in her new role with the Foundation.”

Beginning July 1, Golden will serve as Director of Resource Development with The Foundation for Florida Gateway College as they continue their mission to provide scholarships, funding, and other crucial support and resources to the college.

“We are very excited to welcome Rebecca to our development team,” said Lee Pinchouck, Executive Director of The Foundation for Florida Gateway College. “She’s well known in our community, and everyone knows she always has a smile on her face. We are looking forward to her working with our donors and helping us grow the Foundation to continue to benefit the students and programs at FGC.”

A national search will begin for a new Athletic Director to continue the growth and success the program has seen over the past five years and to support the student-athletes who make it possible.
