New Athletic Hall of Fame to recognize USI's best
|
Nominations for the charter class of the USI Athletic Hall of Fame are being accepted with the first class to be inducted during the 2007 homecoming festivities. The deadline for nominations is October 7. USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall feels that after 36 years of sponsoring intercollegiate athletics the time is right to establish a Hall of Fame. "Athletics at USI has established a strong history," said Hall. "The Hall of Fame will be a mechanism to recognize and reconnect with those student athletes, coaches, administrators, and supporters who created many memorable moments. "The Hall of Fame also will be a way to help our current student athletes understand why we have such pride in our athletics programs." Any Eagle fan is eligible to nominate student athletes or teams on the 10th anniversary of their last season of competition or a coach/administrator who has been separated from the Department of Athletics for two years. Special individuals (e.g., Varsity Club members) also are eligible for nominations. Nominations can be made through the Athletics web site. The selection committee will vote on the nominees and will select a class with a minimum of four student athletes and a maximum of one coach/administrator, special individual or team. The committee is Nancy Johnson '83 M '95, director of Alumni and Volunteer Services; John Deem, associate vice president for Student Affairs; Ray Simmons, director of Sports Information: Jon Mark Hall, director of Athletics; Michael Roeder '89, director of Corporate Communications, Vectren Corporation; Dr. Alan Johnson, orthopaedic surgeon, Orthopaedic Associates; Dr. Jane Davis-Brezette, Physical Education chair; Randa Gatling ‘99, assistant women’s basketball coach; and Dr. Scott Gordon, dean of the Pott College of Science and Engineering. |
