Looking Ahead: An Action-Packed Fall Weekend
Randolph-Macon’s athletic fields will be abuzz this weekend with competition, as well as celebrations of recent and future updates to our campus. Read on to stay up-to-date with all that’s happening this Saturday, September 11!
Nunnally Field Dedication
A dedication ceremony will be held Saturday at approximately 10:15 a.m. for the refreshed Nunnally Field. Nunnally Field underwent extensive renovations in 2020 that included the installation of a state-of-the-art turf pitch bordered by new bleachers and a dedicated double-sided press box. The field will continue to serve Randolph-Macon’s field hockey and women’s lacrosse teams as it has since its original dedication in 1999.
Duke Hall Groundbreaking
Randolph-Macon College will celebrate the groundbreaking of Duke Hall, a building project adjacent to Day Field that will meet several key needs for RMC’s athletic community and house RMC’s new Physician Assistant (PA) graduate program.
To commemorate the groundbreaking of Duke Hall, a brief ceremony will be held during halftime of the Randolph-Macon football game against Catholic University, in which President Robert Lindgren, Athletic Director Jeff Burns, PA Program Director Professor Erich Grant, alongside Board of Trustee leaders, will celebrate the beginning of construction and thank the generous donors who made the building project possible.
