Designation to the Cedar Crest College Hall of Fame is a distinguished honor which brings recognition to the individual, the community, and the college.
In order to be considered for the Athletics Hall of Fame, alumnae must have attended Cedar Crest College for at least two years and exhibited athletic prowess of an outstanding nature in an intercollegiate sport sponsored by Cedar Crest College. Evidence of "outstanding nature" will include peer evaluation, honors and recognition received, statistical evidence, and quality and competition of teams/sport.
Also eligible for induction will be coaches, staff, and other individuals who have worked to enhance the athletics program at Cedar Crest College. Coaches and staff nominees must have been employed by the College for a minimum of five years and made outstanding contributions to the athletics program.
A minimum of five years from the student's last official involvement with Cedar Crest College must elapse before consideration is given to any nominee. In the case of athletic eligibility expiring prior to an individual's graduation, the five years will begin from the time of the nominee's eligibility expiring.
The Director of Athletics shall chair the Athletics Hall of Fame Committee and enlist the services of at least six individuals to serve on the committee. Committee members shall include the Sports Information Director and others who have knowledge and appreciation of the athletics tradition of Cedar Crest College.
Nominations may be submitted by any interested party to the Department of Athletics via letter, email or electronically through the athletics website. Nominations should include detailed information about the nominee's contribution to the athletics program, as well as current contact information. A list of prospective nominees for consideration by the Athletics Hall of Fame Committee will be developed by the Sports Information Director, as well as solicited from alumni and friends of the College. At least 60 percent of the committee members must vote in favor of a nominee for that individual to be elected to the Athletics Hall of Fame. Ordinarily, no more than four nominees will gain entrance to the Athletics Hall of Fame each election. Inductions will occur every year; however, this schedule may be adjusted depending on the number of qualified individuals for consideration.
The Committee will recommend nominees to the President of the College who makes the final determination.
Nominees or a representative if the nominee is deceased must be available to attend the induction ceremony in order to be elected.
Any revisions or exceptions to these guidelines must be approved by at least 60 percent of the committee members.
