Chancellor Marye Anne Fox appointed Moreland to oversee the administrative functions of the Athletics Department until a new AD is chosen.
Les Robinson, the current AD, will leave his post for a similar position at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., on Sept. 1. A search committee is nearing a decision on a final list of candidates to be forwarded to Chancellor Fox.
"I have every confidence in Dr. Moreland's abilities as an administrator. He will be an excellent point of contact between Athletics and the administration during the very brief period of time between Les Robinson's departure and the naming of a new AD," Fox said.
"In addition to serving as one of my executive officers, Dr. Moreland recently headed the committee that prepared the NCAA Interim Certification Report, working closely with the Faculty Athletics Council."
Moreland served as vice chancellor of research, outreach and extension from September 1995 until July of this year, when he became vice chancellor for research and graduate studies. Prior to that time, he was interim vice chancellor. He also served as interim provost at the university in 1998.
He came to NC State in 1964 as an assistant professor of chemistry and director of the university's Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility, later serving as assistant department head of chemistry.
