Illinois College Athletics

A past president of Illinois College, Dr. Don Mundinger oversaw countless improvements to the College during his tenure from 1973 to 1993. Among his achievements in the realm of athletics was spearheading the move from NAIA to NCAA Division III and then moving IC Athletics from the now-defunct College Athletic Conference into its current affiliation with the Midwest Conference. He also was leading the charge to support an up-and-coming women's athletic program at Illinois College. Additionally, he oversaw improvements to numerous athletic facilities, some of which can still be seen today. In 1983, he and a group of campus leaders established the Illinois College Sports Hall of Fame.
