“I’m incredibly proud of our student-athletes as they continue to raise the bar and succeed in and out of competition,” said John D. Vandevere, director of athletics. “This has been a challenging year in many ways and our student-athletes met that challenge head-on, and we’re very grateful for their hard work.”

“All of our inductees are inspiring examples of excellence in classrooms, labs and field placements, as well as in their respective sports," said Thomas A. Zimmerman, associate professor of psychology, adviser to the college's Alpha Iota Chapter and the faculty athletics representative.
