HALL OF FAME NOMINATION FORM

 Since the first baseball team was fielded in the spring of 1915, scores of Ferrum College athletes have brought home countless honors for their alma mater.  In honor of 80-plus 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 Athletics announced its inaugural season of the Ferrum College Alumni Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.  Since then, former Panthers have been honored each year with induction ceremonies held in the fall.

Alumni Sports Hall of Fame Selection Criteria

  • Ferrum College Alumni Sports Hall of Fame nominees should exemplify the highest ideals of small college athletics, sportsmanship, and the spirit of Ferrum’s motto "Not Self, But Others.”

  • Nominees should have excelled in one or more sports while at Ferrum, then have gone on to achieve significant success in a career field.

  • Nominees should be an alumnus or alumna of Ferrum College. If not a Ferrum graduate, nominees should have attended Ferrum for three or more semesters.

  • The selection committee and the Alumni Board of Directors also may induct honorary alumni into the Ferrum College Alumni Sports Hall of Fame. Inductees must have graduated or transferred from Ferrum at least ten years prior to being nominated.
