What is it?
The first class of the Wentworth Institute of Technology Athletic
Hall of Fame was inducted in 2001. The Hall honors individuals whose
contributions have made an impact on the Wentworth Athletic Program,
either as a student-athlete, coach, or contributor.
The Wentworth Hall of Fame was conceived and founded on the basis
that many individuals have bestowed honor and recognition upon both
themselves and Wentworth as a result of their participation in
Wentworth athletics. The purpose of the Wentworth Athletic Hall of
Fame is to appropriately recognize these people and their
accomplishments.
Election to the Wentworth Hall of Fame shall be based primarily on
the athletic accomplishments of the individual. Participants in
recognized intercollegiate athletic programs and recognized club
sport programs are eligible. Selection shall be made on the basis of
athletic ability, integrity, sportsmanship, and character with
special emphasis on the athlete’s contribution to Wentworth and to
the team or teams on which he or she participated. Persons who have
provided distinguished service to Wentworth athletics and/or
outstanding contributions to the Wentworth Athletic Program may also
be selected.
Who is Eligible?
There are four classifications of inductees -- athlete,
coach/administrator, contributor, and team. Nominations will be
solicited through a form that will appear in the Fall issue of the
Alumni News. The criteria for each classification is as follows:
-
In order to be considered for nomination as an athlete, an individual
must be at least five (5) years removed from the class of which
the person was a member of has graduated from Wentworth.
Athletic Department personnel shall become eligible for election
to the Wentworth Hall of Fame based upon their outstanding contributions
to Wentworth Athletics.
-
In addition, people outside of the Athletic Department, as well
as those not officially connected with Wentworth, are eligible
for election to the Wentworth Hall of Fame as special cases, with
each situation considered by the committee on an individual basis.
-
Athletic team membership eligibility in the Wentworth Hall of
Fame shall begin not less than five (5) years after its last intercollegiate
