The Athletic Hall of Fame honors and perpetuates the memory of athletes, friends and coaches, who performed and contributed at the highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition while at Salem State University. Selection is based primarily on athletic accomplishments, integrity, sportsmanship and character. Individuals other than athletes may be named to the Hall of Fame in recognition of their services and dedication to the Salem State University athletic program. Consideration will be given to the individual’s overall contribution to the University and the team(s) on which he or she played. Any former athlete who has competed at the collegiate level will be eligible five (5) years after their official graduation date from Salem State University.
