Hall of Fame
Douglas Shafer has been a long-time supporter of the University of Findlay as is evident by the naming of the Shafer Library on the University campus. For many years, Shafer was a strong supporter of the FC/UF athletic teams in the late 1950’s his financial support was instrumental in the refurbishing of Renninger Gymnasium. He also assisted many students in finding jobs while in college. Most of all, he was a strong advocate for the college athletic teams – both on campus and off. The many student athletes who benefitted from Shafer’s encouragement and support have often stated, “without Doug’s assistance, I could not have stayed in college.” It is fitting that because of Shafer’s many contributions to the athletic teams and to the University, we induct him as an honorary member of The University of Findlay Athletic Hall of Fame.
