Cornell University Athletics

The Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame was initiated in 1978. It became a reality through the thoughtfulness and generosity of the late Ellis H. Robison '18, whose devotion, advice and financial support to his alma mater started as soon as he graduated from the university.

In 2006, the Hall of Fame room moved into Friends Hall, where a high tech touch screen displayed features biographies and photos of every Hall of Famer. That display moved online in 2015 and can be found below.

The Big Red Athletics Hall of Fame honors the achievements of the college's outstanding individual student-athletes, coaches and supporters who have enhanced and reinforced the University’s commitment to athletic excellence.

To nominate a worthy Cornellian for the Athletics Hall of Fame, please contact Alumni Affairs and Development at bigredathletics-aad@cornell.edu.

The web version of the Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame is due in large part to the hard work of Big Red student-athletes Sarah Wilfred '07 (track and field and Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2017), Amanda Linnertz '08 (lacrosse) and Adam Agata '10.
