Georgian Court University Athletic Hall-of-Fame
Sister Barbara Williams was instrumental in advancing the growth of the Georgian Court athletic department. Under her guidance, the department doubled in number of teams from three to six. She also played a large part in the Lions moving to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) in 1983. She then also backed the move allowing Georgian Court to transition from the NAIA to the NCAA Division II, first as a provisional member in 2002 and then as a full-fledged institution in 2004. A champion for athletics, Sister Barbara not only increased the number of teams, but increased the athletic budget and the amount of aid going to student-athletes.
