Dick Hahn came to Nebraska Wesleyan as the Director of Planned Giving Programs in June of 1981. His duties included consulting with Wesleyan constituents regarding the advantages of estate planning and deferred giving. His success in this position has left an obvious mark on the NWU campus, including renovations to Old Main, the completion of the theatre building and the addition to and renovation of Lucas Hall.
            Hahn’s efforts have also involved the athletic facilities. He made many of the trust arrangements for the construction and additions involving the Weary Center, Snyder Arena, Abel Stadium, the Woody Greeno Track and Field Facility, Sconyers Tennis Courts and Nickerson Field. He also helped raise money for renovations to the Knight Field House. Hahn’s next big project has been finding the funds for the field turf and lights, which will most likely be installed on the Abel Stadium field next summer.
            Over the years, Hahn also volunteered his services as an announcer for both football and basketball games and arranged for fan buses to attend away basketball games. His deep love for Nebraska Wesleyan keeps Hahn coming back for more.  In January of 1995, he “retired” before returning in June to work “part-time” (40 hours a week) because he missed it so much. Hahn has greatly enjoyed the opportunity to meet outstanding people and make lifelong friends through his job.
