Few families have meant as much or been as supportive of Â鶹¹ú²úAV athletics as Connie and Marc Jacobson. Their support of our academic and athletic endeavors has contributed significantly to the outstanding success our student-athletes have enjoyed both in the classroom and in athletic competition. The couple has provided a scholarship to the women's basketball team, the Connie and Marc Jacobson endowed Scholarship and the Athletic Academic Center bears their name. Connie and Marc have not only been generous to Â鶹¹ú²úAV athletics with their resources, but they have been very giving of their time in support of our teams and coaches by attending literally hundreds of Â鶹¹ú²úAV athletic contests and events which has truly been the greatest gift they could possibly provide our programs and institution.
