Through the work of former Director of Athletics Ted Runner and others, the University of Redlands Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1983 to acknowledge the accomplishments of the University's most gifted and dedicated student-athletes.
Virginia (Reed) Coffey, class of 1926, helped the Bulldog Bench and Ted Runner to establish the Hall of Fame in 1983 by making the initial contribution. The endowment started by Mrs. Coffey supports the hall, which is located in Currier Gymnasium and subsidizes the purchase of plaques and the dinner for inductees.
Each inductee is commemorated on a beautiful plaque placed in the Hall of Fame and receives an identical copy. The Hall of Fame Selection Committee meets at least three times per year, generally in November, December, and January. All nominations are reviewed by the Selection Committee and new members are approved for induction at the January meeting. Individuals become eligible for induction five years after graduating from the University.
Our most recent class of inductees was celebrated during Homecoming weekend on October 22, 2021. Learn more about the inductees here. Watch the YouTube video of the induction (program starts 30:00 into video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxm79w04RTE
