Lynn Conway came to Delta College in 1961 as its first basketball coach, and served as athletic director from 1965 until his retirement in 1999. Under his leadership, the College became the first college in the country to host a women’s national tournament (before women’s programs were sanctioned by the National College Athletic Association), and won a national championship in men’s basketball in 1989. Family, friends and colleagues established this endowment as a fitting tribute to Conway and his accomplishments. Mr. Conway passed away in 2011.
