Nomination form
Outstanding Alumni Award
Established by the Office of the President in 1952, this is the highest honor the university can bestow upon an alum in recognition of professional accomplishments as well as service and generosity to the university.
Sports Hall of Fame
Founded in 1968, the Sports Hall of Fame honors former athletes, coaches, teams, and administrators for their contributions to RIT intercollegiate athletics. Honorees must distinguish themselves in the field of athletics, either by virtue of their performance on athletic teams representing the department or by meritorious efforts on behalf of intercollegiate athletics either as an undergraduate or in years after leaving the institution. Consideration is also given to those who have made other significant contributions to the athletic program at RIT.
