The Radford University Sports Hall of Fame exists to honor those individuals who have participated in and made a positive impact on Highlander Athletics, both through their play on the field as well as in other aspects.
Inductee Nomination & Selection
New inductees will be added to the Radford University Sports Hall of Fame during ceremonies at the annual Highlander Club Hall of Fame Banquet every year. Inductees are selected each year from nominees solicited through mailings to former Radford athletes and through a ballot in the RU Magazine. That ballot is also available online or by contacting Tom Lillard, Executive Director of the RU Highlander Club, via e-mail at tlillard@radford.edu or by calling (540) 831-6236. Alumni, friends and members of the Radford University community can nominate future candidates based on the following criteria established by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee:
- Nominees must be individuals who participated in, or made a positive impact on, Radford athletics. Nominees will be considered after ten years from the end of intercollegiate participation or at the conclusion of their athletic employment at Radford University.
Inductee Recognition
Inductees into the Radford University Sports Hall of Fame receive a replica of a plaque featuring the achievement of the honoree. The original plaque is placed on permanent display in the Dedmon Center as part of the athletic department's trophies and team awards display. The inductees are also recognized at the annual Highlander Club Hall of Fame Banquet as part of the overall Hall of Fame ceremonies.
Selection Committee
The selection committee is comprised of the Athletic Advisory Council Chairperson; the Director of Alumni Affairs; the Director of Athletics; the Dean of Students; the Executive Director of the Highlander Club; the NCAA Faculty Representative; an at large alumni representative and the Athletic Media Relations Director.
