Bridgewater College Athletic Hall of Fame


The Bridgewater College Athletic Hall of Fame was established to honor those who, by outstanding achievement in athletics at Bridgewater College and service thereafter, have made lasting contributions in the community, government, church and/or workplace. Members of the Bridgewater College Athletic Hall of Fame are selected annually by the Selection Committee from nominations submitted by staff, alumni, and friends of the College.

Honorees have been superior athletes at Bridgewater College and have been extraordinary citizens after graduation and distinguished themselves as role models in the community, church, government service, and/or profession.
