Director of Athletics John Sutyak has announced that Lauren Cox has been promoted to Head Athletic Trainer at Ferrum College.
Cox initially joined the Ferrum sports medicine staff in August 2019 as Assistant Athletic Trainer, then was promoted to Associate Athletic Trainer in August 2021.
"Lauren has been an unbelievable member of the athletic training team upon her arrival at Ferrum," said Sutyak. "Her expertise in athletic medicine, as well as her work connecting with our student-athletes and staff made her a natural fit to transition into this leadership role. I look forward to working with her as a member of our senior leadership team."
Cox earned her Doctorate of Athletic Training degree in 2019 from Indiana State University, where she served two years as a graduate assistant athletic trainer. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in athletic training from Radford University in 2017, working as an undergraduate sports medicine work-study employee in the Highlander athletic program.
"I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to serve Ferrum College in a new capacity," said Cox. "A big thank you to Seth Crawford for all he has done for the sports medicine program here. I plan to continue to evolve our corner of athletics so we can provide the best possible healthcare to the student athletes."
Cox's work at Indiana State and Radford included injury prevention, practice set-up, rehabilitative services, medical records, patient referral, scanning and uploading documents to electronic medical record databases, and managing inventory. Cox has already begun her new position.
