Vanderbilt University has renamed its recreation and wellness center in memory of law school professor and former athletics director David Williams, who passed away unexpectedly in February. A ceremony to unveil the David Williams II Recreation and Wellness Center was held on Oct. 18. Williams was the first black athletics director hired by an SEC school and had served in that position for 16 years. He had returned to being a full-time law professor where he focused on establishing a new Sports, Law and Society program shortly before his death.
