CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR JAN. 25, 2008
Don Wilson to Receive Faith & Learning Award at Homecoming
The Calvin Alumni Association has chosen Dr. Don Wilson, sociology professor
emeritus, to receive the 2008 Faith & Learning Award. This award celebrates
excellence in teaching, spiritual impact, concern for students and lasting
influence.
Calvin athletes recognize that Wilson’s influence has extended far beyond
the classroom. Wilson attends almost every home sporting event - almost 100 a
year. And every athlete on every team receives a written card from him at
least once during the season. In fact, in 1996 Wilson was awarded the NCAA
Division III Sears Die-Hard Fan of the Year for his support of Calvin athletes.
Wilson has kept in touch with countless alumni after graduation, too, sending
about 6,000 postcards a year to friends around the world.
Alumni and friends of Dr. Wilson are invited to a Homecoming luncheon in his
honor:
Saturday, February 9, 2008
11:30 a.m.
Prince Conference Center
To congratulate Prof. Wilson, read more Wilson stories, or purchase lunch
tickets, see the Homecoming web site:
