The Ohio Wesleyan Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding alumni athletes whose performance in their sport(s) was exceptional. The Hall of Fame also may honor those OWU coaches, staff personnel and others in the University community who have made extraordinary contributions to OWU athletics by means other than varsity competition.
The Hall of Fame selection committee is composed of a cross-section of representatives from the athletics department, University Advancement, and alumni, and is responsible for screening and selecting inductees. The University Advancement division reviews/accepts the recommendations and officially notifies the inductees of their selection into the Hall of Fame.
Hall of Fame Selection Criteria
- The nominee must be a graduate of OWU.
- The nominee’s preferred class must have graduated from OWU at least 10 years prior to the current academic year.
- The nominee must have demonstrated exceptional and outstanding performance in his or her sport(s) and have earned at least one varsity letter.
- The varsity letter requirement shall be waived for female athletes who graduated prior to such awards for their sport(s).
“Silver Bishop” athletes — those who graduated from OWU at least 25 years prior to the current academic year and who meet all qualifications for selection — will be considered under the same selection criteria.
Coaches and staff are eligible for nomination two years after leaving their positions at OWU.
