Since its inception in 1995, the Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame has acknowledged and honored individuals who have earned high levels of success in athletics at Dominican University, either as an athlete, coach, or supporter and who have demonstrated commitment, leadership, team spirit and excellence in athletics.

The purpose of the Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize the accomplishments of the University’s greatest athletes, coaches, and members of the University community to bring honor and distinction to Dominican University, and to support in all ways possible the University’s intercollegiate athletics programs.

Individual alumni, coaches, entire teams, and administrators/staff are eligible for induction. Members of the Athletic Hall of Fame are further honored by having a plaque with their name and picture on permanent display in the Hennessy Center.
