Alumni Established the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1977

It was with great pride that the Alumni Association established an Athletic Hall of Fame in 1977 to honor men and women of Dean who have distinguished themselves in sports.

The Hall of Fame recognizes the accomplishments of these athletes while at Dean, at four-year colleges and universities and, for many, at the professional level. They have brought honor not only to themselves and their families, but also to Dean College.

Through the Athletic Hall of Fame program, Dean permanently acknowledges the outstanding achievements of those alumni whose athletic skill and keen sense of competition served as an inspiration for all who knew them and whose accomplishments stand forever in the annals of Dean and the sports world.
