Northwestern Athletics Hall of Fame

The Athletic Hall of Fame was inaugurated in 1984 to honor former athletes, coaches and administrators who have helped establish a proud tradition in intercollegiate competition at Northwestern.

For the first 20 years, Northwestern inducted individuals based on two categories: the Pioneer Era (consisting of any graduating class 50 years or more prior to the induction year) and the Contemporary Era (spanning the 50 most recent years, excluding the five years prior to the current year). In 2004-05, the Hall of Fame Committee decided to eliminate the two categories and consider the credentials of any athlete, coach and administrator (athletes must still have graduated five years prior to the induction year).

Twenty-five inductees were selected as charter members in 1984. The Ronald J. Chinnock Lobby in McGaw Hall houses the Hall of Fame display.

The 2007-08 Hall of Fame inductees were honored at halftime of the Northwestern-Purdue men's basketball game on Feb. 16, 2008. From left: Darnell Autry (football), Amy Kekeisen Fedorchak (field hockey/softball), Dave Pemberton (swimming), Amy Prichard (women's basketball), Dr. Howard Sweeney (honorary) and 2006-07 inductee Kim Paton Fromberg (women's swimming).
