Athletic Hall Of Fame

The Athletic Hall of Fame was founded in 1982 by the M Club Foundation as a joint project with the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Hall of Fame pays tribute and extends recognition to those Terrapin athletes, coaches and administrators who through the years have contributed to the honor and national recognition of the University in athletics, and who have continued to demonstrate, in their daily lives, the values learned in Intercollegiate Athletics. Visitors to the main lobby of the Comcast Ceneter can view plaques honoring the University’s greatest achievers in athletics.

Among the qualifications for man and women nominees are: being out of school at least ten years, earning a varsity letter or being an Athletic Department Staff member for at least fifteen years, a record of outstanding athletic achievements, and being of good character and reputation.

The Hall of Fame selection committee, which consists of former coaches, athletes and alumni who have a strong identification and understanding of Terrapin athletics, meets annually to elect inductees. Anyone is permitted to nominate candidates for the Hall of Fame. Each nomination must have a detailed biographical sketch on forms provided by the M Club Foundation, 2707 Terrapin Trail, Comcast Center, College Park, MD 20742.
