Adams State University

A 1962 Adams State graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, Mary Motz has dedicated more than six decades to supporting Adams State University through her generosity, service, and unwavering commitment to its students and athletic programs. A longtime Grizzly Club member and supporter of the Motz Porter Men's Basketball Scholarship, her contributions have positively impacted generations of Grizzlies. Alongside her late husband, Hall of Famer Marv Motz (1963), the Motz family has built a remarkable Adams State legacy. All four of their children earned degrees from Adams State, five grandchildren have also become Grizzlies, and Mary continues to call Alamosa home while remaining an active supporter of the university and its community.
