A man in head-to-toe SMU gear with a beaming smile walks into Fondren Library. He stands taller than the average student. And he’s a few years older. But he seems right at home on the SMU campus. This man is Gordon Welch. He attended SMU from 1977-1981 and played as a forward on the men’s basketball team.
The SMU alumnus is currently employed at McLarens Insurance as a General Adjuster, but reminisces about his days as an athlete on SMU campus.
Welch was nostalgic when talking about his experience as an athlete at a time when SMU basketball was all the talk during the spring semester.
