Call for Nominees: Sports Hall of Fame
In honor of over eighty years of Panther Athletics, and in
recognition of the many contributions Ferrum student-athletes have made
throughout their careers, the
Ferrum Alumni Association and the Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics announced its inaugural season of the Ferrum College Alumni
Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.
It is very important that the selection committee receive as complete a
package as possible for each nominee to include playing
records/statistics, athletic honors, and continuing achievements and
service since leaving Ferrum. Committee members rely mostly on the
information provided in the nomination package, so completeness is
important. In order to be considered, nominees should:
- » Exemplify the highest ideals of small college athletics,
sportsmanship, and the spirit of Ferrum’s motto, "Not Self, But Others."
- » Have excelled in one or more sports while at Ferrum College,
and then have gone on to achieve significant success in a career field.
- » Be an alumnus or alumna of Ferrum College. If not a Ferrum
graduate, nominee should have attended Ferrum for three or more
semesters. The selection committee and the Alumni Board of Directors
also may induct honorary members such as Coaches and other individuals
who made a significant impact on Ferrum Athletics.
- » Have graduated or transferred from Ferrum College at least 10
years prior to nomination. This year we are looking for student
athletes that left the College prior to June 2001.
