George Fox University

While Dave Adrian’s 1307 career points were still 15th all-time in the George Fox basketball record books at the time of his induction, his true legacy stems from the continued commitment to the student experience after graduation. Adrian first set foot on campus as a student interested in playing basketball and singing in the George Fox choir. In his time as a student, he made multiple choir tour trips and played four seasons of basketball for the Bruins from 1975-80.

After graduation, Adrian served as an advancement officer for 41 years and was instrumental in modernizing the campus for students and student-athletes in his four decades of service. During his time in the advancement office, Adrian helped secure gifts that ultimately led to the creation or renovation of six athletic facilities for the Bruins: Austin Sports Complex, Morse Athletic Fields for both baseball and softball, Stoffer Family Stadium, the Duke Athletic Center, and the Fowler Golf Training Center.

Following his retirement, Adrian and his family have been able to take more trips and enjoy a gentler pace of life while continuing to support Bruin athletics as fans and donors themselves.
