On May 3, 1993, S.F.S.U. Student Center's Barbary Coast Room was dedicated to Jack Adams and renamed Jack Adams Hall.(1) Jack Adams was a beloved member of the SFSU community for over 20 years and is remembered for his hard work and dedication to both the campus and AIDS community. A year after his graduation he joined SFSU as the properties manager, and later the stage manager for the school of Creative Arts.
In 1982 he was appointed assistant director of the Student Union, a position he would hold until his untimely death nearly ten years later.
Adams resigned in July 1992 because of his declining health due to AIDS-related complications. He passed away on November 21, 1992 at the age of 47.
