Athletic Hall of Fame

In 1976, the E-Club Letterwinners Alumni Chapter established the Eastern Michigan University E-Club Athletic Hall of Fame. The E-Club is proud to preserve the pride, tradition, and recognition of EMU athletics. The Hall of Fame honors men and women whose exceptional performance in athletics merits special recognition from their alma mater. Each year, the E-Club Athletic Hall of Fame class is honored at an annual induction ceremony and sporting event.

Athletic Hall of Fame members are permanently displayed in the E-Club Athletic Hall of Fame located in the atrium on the main floor of the George Gervin GameAbove Center formerly known as the EMU Convocation Center. Athletic Hall of Fame Members
