A Titan Legend

Whether in the classroom or on the field, Dr. Darwin “Dar” Huey ’74 has always championed his students and their accomplishments. As such, it seems only fitting that the Dar Huey Heritage Center, unveiled in September, is all about celebrating the successes of Titan athletics.

Located inside the Memorial Field House, the new Huey Heritage Center proudly showcases Westminster's athletic history and heritage. The center features display cases for all 22 varsity teams highlighting past and present achievements, a Titan Sports Hall of Fame interactive touchscreen, the Gene Nicholson Showcase of National Champions celebrating Westminster's national championship teams and individuals, the Jim Dafler PAC Champions Showcase, the Titan Tradition Hallway, the Buzz Ridl Showcase and the Towering Titan Sports Heritage Mural illustrating all the Titan greatness and success achieved over the years. The contributions and support from almost 300 donors made this unique Huey Heritage Center possible.

A 1974 graduate and former outside linebacker for the football team, Huey returned to Westminster where he would later serve as chair of the Department of Education before transitioning to director of the Graduate Program. He also acted as assistant football coach from 1976 to 1990 and defensive coordinator from 1991 to 1998.
