Many of WVU's most notable donors and supporters are well-known to WVU fans (both school and athletics) but Bob Reynolds is at the top of that list and many are not fully aware of his kindness toward the University. He's a huge supporter of all things WVU. One of his many contributions was to the Reynolds Family Academic Performance Center, which is at the Puskar Center. I thought I would share this release on him being named the 2015 Ron Burton Humanitarian Award Dinner.
