The Official Site of the Houghton University Highlanders

Founded in 1994 the Athletic Hall of Honor is charged “To help preserve, strengthen and add distinction to the athletic program at Houghton University." The ‘Highlanders’ Hall of Honor recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the program, through participation, support or interest. Induction into the Hall takes into account the lives of those honored, acknowledging evidence of discipline, sacrifice, steadfastness, cooperation, commitment and Christian witness. The Hall honors the men and women who have demonstrated—both on campus and in succeeding years—the worth of athletics by their mature leadership and their impact on society. Additionally, inductees may have exemplified courage and tenacity having applied the disciplines learned in athletics to significant life challenges or championed a significant cause that has benefited others. A plaque commemorating each member hangs in the foyer of the Nielsen Center.

Nominations can be submitted using this online nomination form. Submissions are reviewed by the Athletics Advisory Board Hall of Honor Committee and recommendations are made to the full membership of the AAB for approval annually. The Hall of Honor welcomes nominations from the Houghton community via the online form.
