PURPOSE
The purpose of the JUW Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize the achievements of those student-athletes, coaches, administrators, teams, and friends of the athletic program who have brought distinction to themselves and the University through achievement, commitment, sportsmanship, and leadership in athletics.
Started in 2000, the Johnson & Wales University Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes both distinguished athletes and individuals who have contributed to the success of Wildcat athletics. With the addition of the 2023 class, the Hall of Fame includes 62 individuals and three teams.
