Joan S. Hult passed away on August 16, 2022 in Largo, Maryland. Dr. Hult was professor emerita of kinesiology at University of Maryland, College Park. She graduated from Indiana University Bloomington, received a master's degree from the University of North Carolina Greensboro, and a Ph.D. in sports history and philosophy from the University of Southern California.

Dr. Hult authored numerous research articles and co-edited A Century of Women's Basketball: From Frailty to Final Four.

As a faculty member at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, she founded the women's intercollegiate athletic program, and she coached every sport except gymnastics. Dr. Hult was inducted into Concordia's Hall of Fame in 1989. The Indiana University School of Public Health awarded Dr. Hult the Anita Aldrich Distinguished Alumni Award and the W.W. Patty Distinguished Alumni Awards.

Dr. Hult is survived by her niece Karen Marie Hult and husband Charles Walcott, nephew David Robert Hult and wife Lisa Hult, nephews Dennis Hult (children Adam Hult, Robert Hult) and Chad Hult (wife Kayla Hult and daughter Andi), great-niece Addelyn Hanley, and numerous cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; S. Albert Hult and Marie Wise Hult; infant sister Alberta May Hult; sister Phyllis Marie Hult; brother Robert J. Hult; sister-in-law Rita Mayer Hult; niece Anne-Marie Hult; and twin infant great nephews.

As a graduate student `93-98, we fondly referred to Joan as "the Big H."
She was a wonderful professor and person. Enjoyed many sports experiences (first WNBA Washington Mystics game, World Cup USA soccer v Brazil, NCAA Bball final fours) and conversations.
