George Fox University

An administrator in the athletic department, a mentor to the department's leadership, a counselor and father figure to many student-athletes, and a generous friend and supporter of many George Fox programs -  all these describe Hal Adrian's numerous contributions, not just to athletics, but to the George Fox as a whole.

Adrian's interests in George Fox began while son Dave was playing basketball for the Bruins, and upon his retirement from the North Pacific Insurance Company, Hal joined the staff as associate director of athletics from 1994-98. He was primarily responsible for overseeing the financial affairs of the athletic department, streamlining operations while significantly increasing outside contributions to the program.

Under the inspiration of former president Ed Stevens, he researched and laid the groundwork for establishing the George Fox Sports Hall of Fame. He continued to support Bruin athletics both personally and financially long after his retirement, and could be seen regularly at many athletic events until his passing in 2018.
