COURTYARD OF CHAMPIONS
The specific location is the planted courtyard area between the Greek plots and the Thompson Center (see attached photo). We believe the grandeur of the statue and courtyard would complement the rich history of Winston-Salem State University.
​
All cost of preparing the site and erecting the statue will be the responsibility of the Ram Athletic Foundation and other partners. can leave a lasting legacy that will change lives, speak to what you care about and set a leading example for future generations.
The Courtyard of Champions will become a focal point to draw student athletes, current students and alumni onto the campus during recruitment and other events.
