NEW ORLEANS - The Athletics Department of Tulane University is inviting nominations for its 2003 Athletics Hall of Fame. The "new-look" Tulane Athletics Hall of Fame has reconfigured its requirements for entry and has asked for input from Tulane fans, supporters and alumni, beginning with the 2003 class.
Former Tulane student-athletes from all sports, former coaches and former administrators are eligible for selection to the Hall of Fame. Student-athletes who completed their athletic careers during the 1997-98 seasons or before can be nominated this year.
To be considered for selection, student-athletes must meet the following criteria:
** The student-athlete must have brought above average recognition to him or herself and to Tulane University during his or her Green Wave athletics career;
** must have demonstrated qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, scholarship, character and integrity both during and after his or her Tulane career;
** must have received a varsity letter through participation in an intercollegiate sport;
** and must have completed his or her collegiate career at Tulane.
Nominees in the coaching and administrative categories must have served a minimum of four years as a head coach at Tulane (coaches) or have worked at Tulane a minimum of five years (administrators).
To submit nominations, interested parties may send the form attached in this issue of WaveLengths, or print out the nomination form available at www.TulaneGreenWave.com, and fax the completed form to the Tulane Athletics Media Relations Office at 504-865-5512 or mail to James W. Wilson Center, Ben Weiner Drive, New Orleans, La. 70118. Supporting information in the way of letters, statistics and clippings will also be accepted but will not be returned. Nominations will also be taken via e-mail by sending similar information to that requested in the nomination form to dturner1@tulane.edu.
A listing of the previous inductees into the Hall of Fame is also available on the Tulane Athletics website. New nominations will be certified and forwarded on to the Hall of Fame Committee. The new Hall of Fame Committee is made up of 17 individuals and includes members of the media, Tulane Athletics Fund, T-Club and faculty representatives, and current Tulane student-athletes, coaches and athletics staff. Anyone may submit a nomination and this year's nominees will be kept on file for three years and be reconsidered during each subsequent review period. This year, nominations will be accepted through April 9, 2003.
The newest class of the Tulane Athletics Hall of Fame is expected to be announced this summer and inducted at the 2003 Homecoming Football game when Tulane takes on Houston next Oct. 11th.
