VIRGINIA WESLEYAN ATHLETIC
HALL OF FAME

The Virginia Wesleyan Athletic Hall of Fame Committee has been notified that proposed changes are unacceptable.

Virginia Wesleyan University Athletic Hall of Fame was established by resolution of 
the board of trustees on May 16, 2007, to honor those who by outstanding 
achievement in athletics, by service to athletics, or through significant contribution to 
athletics, having made a lasting contribution to Virginia Wesleyan’s intercollegiate 
athletic program.

The first group of inductees were nominated in 2009. There are currently 72 athletes, four 
teams, 6 coaches, and 11 benefactors/administrators. The first administrator admitted was 
William Greer in 2015. The same year the current administration took office. There have 
been 10 other benefactors added to the Hall of Fame in 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023,
2024, and 2025.

The nomination of non-athletes has increased dramatically under the current administration.

It is dubious to assume that all benefited the athletic department.

Virginia Wesleyan has a proud history of athletic success. Eight Athletic Hall of Fame

members engaged the administration in an attempt to preserve the

VIRGINIA WESLEYAN Athletic Hall of Fame.

That initiative was not embraced by the committee.
