Shenandoah University’s newest campus facility will be named the James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletics & Events Center. One of the university’s most ardent supporters, James R. “Jimmy” Wilkins, Jr. is a member of the university’s board of trustees and co-chair of the Athletics & Events Center Steering Committee. Wilkins’ father, James R. Wilkins, Sr., was chairman of the College Project Committee which pushed for university’s move to Winchester in 1960, and served as chairman of the board of trustees for almost 30 years. The 77,000-square-foot indoor athletic facility, set to bow in mid-January 2018, will serve the university’s 21 athletics teams, the entire university community and the local and regional communities.
