Dedication ceremonies were held Wednesday for "The Big John Evans Walk of Tradition" on the second floor of the NSU Athletic Fieldhouse. John's brother, Allen (on the right), made a donation to the NSU Athletic Association to underwrite the cost of displays for the second floor and wanted to name the project for his brother, whose passion for NSU Athletics is second to none. The displays include school record holders, All-Americans, retired jerseys, and much more related to the sports -- football, track and field, and baseball -- whose offices are in the George Doherty Wing. The project was done by Richardson, Texas-based Quattro Graphics, Inc., which does this sort of work for Division I schools across the nation.
