Coming From Student Athletes

As a college athlete, without influencers like Dr. Calgaard, I would not have the opportunity to use the facilities that I do every day for my four-year stay at Trinity. I am not alone in this sense either; the same applies to a plethora of student-athletes and students who use the facilities at the Bell Center that Dr. Calgaard helped create and plan. I believe that my experience is something that Dr. Calgaard had intended, based on what he prided himself in and accomplished during his tenure as president of Trinity. Concerning everyone else who has any involvement with Trinity, Dr. Calgaard, and what he has done apply to how they go about conducting their daily lives on campus. The reality is everyone may not realize or be aware of Calgaard’s impact. Without question, new opportunities would not be available or otherwise made possible if it was not for Ron Calgaard. Essentially at the bare minimum, the Bell Center has provided somewhere to workout, compete, or hangout for recreational use. Case in point, without the improvements or changes enacted by Ron Calgaard, Trinity University’s Athletic Facility Centers would not be in the condition they are in today.
