Dr. Jim Gussett Shares Passion for Athletics and Students in 32-year Longwood Career

From the opening of Longwood College’s Lancer Hall in 1980, Jim Gussett and his wife Ann, have been game day fixtures.  From 1966 to 1998, Jim was known as a student advocate at Longwood, first as the assistant dean and later as a math professor.   As a high school catcher in Cincinnati, he played with future MLB managers Don Zimmer and Jim Frey before attending the U.S. Naval Academy.  This episode is the second in a series celebrating Lancer, later known as Willett Hall.  The new Joan Perry Brock Center will be the Lancers’ new home in the fall of 2023.
