Induction Requirements
The Harvard Varsity Club and a special Committee appointed by the Executive Committee of the Club oversees the Hall of Fame induction process. As Harvard offers the largest intercollegiate athletic program in the country, it is a challenging task to evaluate athletic achievement across 42 varsity sports. Therefore, strict guidelines for induction exist. In order to be selected into the Hall of Fame, all athletes must meet the following requirements:
- Has been a graduate of the college for 15 years
- Excelled for multiple years in a sport while an undergraduate at Harvard
- Achieved greatness in a sport at the time when competing at Harvard
In total, more than 600 athletes from Harvard have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. If you would like to nominate someone for induction to the Hall of Fame, please email us at hvc@fas.harvard.edu.
