DENVER – The University of Denver Division of Athletics mourns the passing of DU Athletics Hall of Famer and former Pioneer Faculty Athletic Representative Bill Dorn.
Dorn, who passed away on April 18, was inducted into the DU Athletics Hall of Fame in January of 2020. In his most recent years, Dorn was a season ticket holder and a regular in the Denver Hockey Gold Club.
A Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, Dorn was appointed to the faculty at the University of Denver in 1968 and retired 30 years later. He served in a role similar to the modern day Faculty Athletic Representative and was a valuable supporter of the athletic department and its student-athletes during his tenure.
Starting during Ron Oyer's time as Athletic Director (1976-82), Dorn provided invaluable advocacy, counsel and support to the staff, coaches and student-athletes while enhancing communication and support between the athletic department and the rest of campus.
