Tolman Hall is named for former Dean of Students and Coach Jay Tolman. Tolman worked at Mesa from 1946-1976, coaching championship teams in Football, Basketball, and Track. Tolman's athletic activities were not just felt on campus, but around the Grand Junction community where one of his legacies lives on today. As a Regional Director for the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), Tolman was responsible for making Grand Junction the host of the Junior College World Series. Despite Mesa State advancing to become a 4-year institution in 1972, Grand Junction continues to host the JUCO World Series each May.
