Names in the Game

C. VIVIAN STRINGER

Nike will dedicate the C. Vivian Stringer Child Development Center on Tuesday at its headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.

The Rutgers women's basketball coach is the third woman, the second coach, and the first African-American woman to have a building named after her on Nike's campus.

"I am tremendously touched by this amazing honor from Nike. I am a fairly humble person and have a hard time accepting accolades so this (a building named in my honor) has hit me very hard," Stringer said.

The Stringer Center, a 35,000-square-foot facility, opened in June. The center houses 26 classrooms, providing care, learning and development for approximately 300 children between the ages of six months and 5 years old.
