Collins Residence Hall, first occupied in 1985, is named after William Avery Collins (’61), a major University benefactor. While a student, Mr. Collins was pledge master at Delta Sigma Pi fraternity, in which his brothers included All-American and future NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Norm Snead (’62). Collins also competed in track and field and played in the band. In 1994, he established a $2.1 million scholarship fund for students from his native Virginia. The dragon on the building crest honors the Collins family crest, which features a dragon of its own. Learn more about this hall here.

Famous Alumni: Tim Duncan (’97), multiple NBA All-Star and Olympic medalist, and Bill Haas (’04), winner of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup in 2011, are on the Collins all-time roster.

Brian (he/him) teaches ancient Greek and Latin language and literature. Ask him about his short-term study abroad trip to Greece this past May. He grew up in Cincinnati and lived in New York City, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Memphis before he moved to Winston-Salem. If he hadn’t become a classicist, he probably would have been a swim coach.

Rebekah (she/her) is a WFU alumna excited to meet new Deacs. She is passionate about study abroad because seeing the world from a different perspective is essential for a complete education. She enjoys random trips to offbeat places (ask her road trips to see sights such as the world’s tallest fork), paint-by-number (new pandemic hobby), cheese dip, dark chocolate in any form, and playing with her cat.
