About Jan Weaver
Jan Weaver was an avid supporter of Murray State University and the Murray community for many years. Her husband Dick wanted to name the event in her honor. Sadly, the Murray community and Murray State also lost Dick in February 2018. Jan was a longtime teacher and education administrator. She served her students for more than 40 years at the high school and college level. Her tenure at Murray State in the College of Education (1985-97) included serving as dean of the department. Dick and Jan's commitment to Racer Athletics is still helping back up its commitment to Racer student-athletes. They assisted in many ways, but none tops their 1997 accomplishment. Through the Weaver's support, Murray State athletics established a state-of-the-art academic center. The Weaver Academic Enhancement Center was opened at Roy Stewart Stadium June 30, 1997. The center is still a vital part of helping MSU student-athletes succeed in the classroom. Jan and Dick Weaver were inducted posthumously into the Murray State Hall of Fame to the Hall of Distinction wing in 2018.
