(Creston, IA) – Southwestern Community College has named Paul Purvis as their new athletic director. The Bellevue, Nebraska native will take over as the athletic director on April 30th.
Paul Purvis brings over 30 years of high school and college coaching experience while also bringing administrative experience.
