Hall of Fame Nomination Deadline Approaching
By CSU Sports Information
COLUMBUS - The deadline to nominate an individual for the Columbus State University Athletic Hall of Fame is quickly approaching.
All nominations must be completed by Wednesday, July 31 for the nominee to be eligible for the class of 2019.
To be eligible for the CSU Athletic Hall of Fame, a former student-athlete, coach, athletic official, administrator, or any other CSU official must be at least five years removed from his or her post at the university. The waiting period will begin after the last academic year of the nominee's participation. However any former coach, athletic official, or staff member of the university who has been at the university for at least 15 continuous years will not have to go through the waiting period.
A person can also be nominated as a contributor, one who didn't compete athletically, but positively affected CSU Athletics and or CSU student-athletes.
The Columbus State University Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1995 to honor and memorialize those participants in athletics who have made a major contribution, individually, in at least one sport and have helped to bring recognition and prominence to the university.
If a nomination form has already been submitted for an individual, there is no need for any additional action.
