The University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor,[1] founded in 1978,[2] recognizes University of Michigan athletes, coaches, and administrators who have made significant contributions to the university's athletic programs.[3] To qualify for induction into the Hall of Honor, an individual must have been an All-American, set an NCAA, U.S., or world record, won an NCAA title, or made significant contributions to the university's athletic department as a coach or administrator.[3] The nomination and selection process is conducted by the Letterwinners M Club executive board.[3]
- ^ The word "Athletic" is inserted by the university's archives (Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor. Bentley Historical Library—archives of the University of Michigan and the Michigan Athletic Department), to minimize confusion, because UM's dental and medical schools each have its own similarly named "Hall of Honor".
