The University of Texas Permian Basin Athletics will dedicate the Director of Athletics office to Scott and Jackie Farmer in a ceremony this Friday night in the D. Kirk Edwards Family Human Performance Center.  Scott served as the University's second AD starting in 2017 and retired in 2020 after 30-plus years in intercollegiate athletics.
 
Under Farmer's watch the D. Kirk Edwards Family Human Performance Center was completed, the Champions Fund was created, significantly increasing the number of student-athlete scholarships, and the Falcons excelled in the classroom, setting records for the department's GPA.
 
Farmer was also instrumental in expanding the D. Kirk Edwards Family Human Performance Center to include many of the top-of-the-line amenities utilized by student-athletes.  He came to UTPB after serving as the AD at Louisiana from 2011-16.  Farmer also worked as an Assistant AD at Troy University and Georgia Southern University and served as the head swimming coach at the latter.  
 
The office will be officially dedicated with a ceremony at 4 PM on Friday in the D. Kirk Edwards Family Human Performance Center.  Light refreshments will be served.  If you would like to attend please RSVP with Leslie Kitto at kitto_l@utpb.edu or 432-889-1013.
