A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR JOHN VROOMAN, FORMER COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY HEAD BASEBALL COACH, ON RECEIVING COASTAL CAROLINA'S UNIVERSITY MEDALLION AWARD.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that John Vrooman, former Coastal Carolina University (CCU) head baseball coach, was named one of two first recipients of Coastal Carolina's University Medallion at the school's annual Founders Day ceremony on September 24, 2012; and

Whereas, the University Medallion was created to honor individuals who have contributed to CCU in service (to education and the community), entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and scholarship; and

Whereas, besides being head baseball coach, John Vrooman was also an interim athletic director and academic dean at CCU. His teams won six consecutive Big South Conference titles and achieved the school's first NCAA Regional appearance in 1991; and

Whereas, a member of the faculty for thirty-six years, he was twice named Big South Coach of the Year and was inducted into the George F. "Buddy" Sasser CCU Athletic Hall of Fame and the Big South Conference Hall of Fame. CCU's baseball field is named for him and his parents; and

Whereas, grateful for his important contributions, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in congratulating Mr. Vrooman on this, his latest accolade, the CCU University Medallion. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor John Vrooman, former Coastal Carolina University head baseball coach, on receiving Coastal Carolina's University Medallion award.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to John Vrooman.
