The Judson W. Pickard Jr. and John G. Potts Hall was officially unveiled before a crowd of students, faculty, staff, board members, alumni and friends.

Over a career of more than 40 years, he has owned and operated multiple McDonald's franchises through Pickard Enterprises, with his wife, Donna, and three sons. Mr. Potts has been a successful Detroit owner/operator for McDonald’s for over 30 years. John has received the prestigious Ronald Award.
