The Western Michigan Athletics Hall of Fame Committee is seeking nominations for the upcoming 2023 WMU Athletics Hall of Fame Class.
 
 This year's class will be inducted on Friday, Oct. 13, and honored at the WMU Football Homecoming game against Miami on Oct. 14. It will be the 50th anniversary of the WMU Athletics Hall of Fame. Since its inception in 1973, the WMU Athletic Hall of Fame has grown to include nearly 200 former student-athletes, coaches and administrators, and a pair of teams.
 
"As we continue our commitment to serving all of our former Broncos and loyal supporters, the WMU Athletics Hall of Fame weekend provides us an opportunity to recognize those who had exceptional athletic careers, as well as contributed to the success and growth of their respective programs," said WMU Director of Athletics Dan Bartholomae. "This year, I am especially excited as we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the WMU Athletics Hall of Fame as a part of Homecoming weekend."
 
 To be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame, nominees must be the following criteria: 
 

• A student-athlete becomes eligible for nomination to the Hall of Fame ten years after graduation or withdrawal from the University. 
• An athlete must have earned at least two letters in one sport or one letter in two different sports and have had significant team, conference, or national honors and accomplishments. 
• A member of the University staff must have served the University for a minimum of five years. 
• An outstanding career as an athlete or staff member must be complemented by an exemplary career in the individual's profession or occupation, a record that reflects credit to the person and this University

 
Anyone may submit a nomination using the official nomination form. Nominations can be supported with letters of recommendation. The nomination deadline for the 2023 class is June 27.
