Anyone can submit a nomination for the Athletic Hall of Fame. We aim to have a broad representation of qualified candidates. Please submit nomintation packets and corresponding information electronically to alumni@manhattan.edu. Sponsors will receive a confirmation of receipt once a nomination is received.
Nominees must fall under one or more of the following non-exclusive categories:
An alumnus or alumna (hereinafter “alumnus”) who, as an academically qualified student, participated in Manhattan College’s athletic program and whose received a degree at least 10 or more years prior to his or her candidacy.
Athletic directors, coaches and athletic staff preferably those with at least five and ideally 10 years of service to Manhattan College.
Friends and alumni of Manhattan College who have regularly enhanced interest in, and the success of, Manhattan College athletics as reflected by their career body of work.
You are required to submit a brief biography of the person you are nominating. This bio should contain as much pertinent information about the nominee’s athletic contribution as warranted without resorting to repetition. For example, there is no need to attach multiple clippings documenting the same individual accomplishment. The Manhattan College Archives are available to you as you research the biography. Read a message from the College archivist.
Forward any additional documentation to alumni@manhattan.edu.
Presentation
You should make a five-minute presentation about the nominee at the Selection Committee meeting which usually takes place in June. Others may also make brief supporting statements. A copy of your nomination packet will be distributed to all members of the committee prior to this meeting.
After all presentations have been made and sufficient discussion has taken place, the committee members will select current year’s inductees by closed ballot.
Up to eight candidates with the highest vote totals can be inducted into the Hall in one ballot. The three candidates with the next highest totals will automatically be re-nominated the following year. There is no limitation as to the number of times a person may be nominated.
