Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame
Search The Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame Members
The Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame was initiated in 1978. It became a reality through the thoughtfulness and generosity of the late Ellis H. Robison '18, whose devotion, advice and financial support to his alma mater started as soon as he graduated from the university. Membership in the Hall will stand at 510 after this year’s induction of 12 members.
In 2006, the Hall of Fame room moved into Friends Hall, where a high tech touch screen display features biographies and photos of every Hall of Famer. A well-produced graphic display of memorabilia and photography of legendary athletes serves as the backdrop for meetings and celebrations in a room fit for its legendary Cornellians.
The Big Red Athletic Hall of Fame honors the achievements of the college's outstanding individual student-athletes, coaches and supporters who have enhanced and reinforced the University’s commitment to athletic excellence.
To nominate a worthy Cornellian for the Athletic Hall of Fame, please contact Kathleen Bolton at ksh11@cornell.edu.
The web version of the Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame is due in large part to the hard work of Big Red student-athletes Sarah Wilfred '07 (track and field), Amanda Linnertz '08 (lacrosse), Adam Agata '10.
