New athletic center dedicated to Harr family
MATTHEW BERRY
Chief Reporter | @TheMatthewBerry
The university recently dedi-
cated the Student-Athlete success
center to honor both the legacies
of John Harr and his son Dr. Pat-
rick Harr.
The center was renamed as
the Harr Student-Athlete Success
Center, Jan. 13. The Student-Ath-
lete Success Center, located in the
old fi tness center, is a space de-
signed for student athletes to work
on their academic work.
Associate Athletic Director
Scott Nielson said the original fo-
cus of the renaming was to honor
the legacy of Dr. Patrick Harr, the
University’s team physician who
provides his services free of charge.
“The best way to summarize
(Harr’s) impact (was that) any
time there was an injury to a stu-
dent athlete at Northwest, Dr. Harr
was going to be a part of that,”
Nielson said.
However, it became more ev-
