Honoring the Legacy of Rollo Taylor

Feb. 22 events will honor the legacy of Rollo Taylor:  Educator, Mentor, Coach and Friend.

Another opportunity for Coach Taylor’s “victories” to honor his legacy will be on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the UWL Eagles last regular season home game against UW-Eau Claire. There will be a presentation at halftime about the new Rollo Taylor Endowment and Outstanding Freshman Award.  

After the game, a Coach Taylor Legacy Celebration will be held at the Cleary Alumni & Friends Center, reminiscent of the end of season dinner that Rollo and Kay Taylor hosted in their home each year for his freshman teams. This spaghetti dinner will offer time for former players, assistant coaches, students, UWL colleagues and community friends to share stories of how Rollo touched their lives. Many of Rollo’s family plan to attend both the game and celebration.
