  • We Become Champions by Investing in the Community
    Athletic Administration Lonza Hardy Jr. DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Lonza Hardy Jr. was named Director of Athletics at Hampton University on June 20, 2007, after spending the previous six years in the same capacity at Mississippi Valley State University. A 1978 graduate of the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill School of Journalism, Hardy has enjoyed a successful career in college sports for more than 30 years. During his stint at Mississippi Valley State, Hardy worked to elevate the school’s dormant athletics program into a power in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). During his six-year reign, the university captured more league championships than it had in the previous 33 years combined. Accordingly, Hardy was awarded the 2006 General Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award by the All-American Football Foundation. While at Mississippi Valley State, Hardy created a Student-Athlete Academic Resource Center and the Ashley Ambrose Lounge – which was made possible by a donation from the MVSU alum and Kansas City Chiefs star. Hardy also oversaw the addition of lights and new fencing to the MVSU baseball field, the relocation of the Department of Athletics to better offices on campus, improvements to the press box at Rice-Totten Stadium and improvements to the relocated weight room. Hardy’s efforts also extended to the completion of an on-campus soccer facility and the development of a long-range plan for the construction of an 18-hole golf course and a health and wellness complex, which will house a new basketball arena. Prior to his tenure at Mississippi Valley State, Hardy served as associate commissioner of the SWAC for more than 11 years (1989-2001), where he helped elevate the image of the 10-member league, while handling the conference’s public relations efforts and working hand-in-hand with the commissioner in managing the day-to-day operations of the conference headquarters.

  • Legends 2018 Program Booklet
    Grambling Legends Sports Hall of Fame TRACK | 2018 INDUCTEE Janice Bernard-Forde presented by Alice Jackson (Atlanta) Janice grew up in the small town of Tunapuna Trinidad with her parents Inez and Elias. At an early age, Janice expressed a passion for track and field. She often attended track meets to see other athletes compete. Sister Ruth Palmer, a principal at St. Charles Girls Catholic High School, observed her enthusiasm and encouraged her to join the team. Shortly after doing so, she became one of the top sprinters and received the Athlete of the Year Award from St. Charles. Receiving a track scholarship to attend Grambling State University, she settled in at Grambling and quickly adapted to the culture. While at GSU, she learned the importance of time management and being a team player to achieve her academic and athletic goals. While at Grambling, Janice ran the 60, 100, 200 meters and was on the sprint relay teams. She worked hard to remain focused to complete Coach Ed Stevens’ challenging workouts.
