Union University has a longstanding tradition of excellence in athletic achievement including, but not exclusive of four national championships, multiple number one rankings in various sports, National Players of the Year honors, and many players going on to play professional and semi-professional sports. Union University has opened the window of opportunity for a countless number of athletes by providing a stage for their performance. This stage is a venue in which athletes, coaches and other participants have individually and collectively achieved successes in the head to head competition of intercollegiate athletics. It is the purpose of the Union University's Hall of Fame to honor those who have combined individual and collective achievement with the ethics and Christian values that are imbedded in Union University's global mission. These achievements bring with them local and national recognition and promote institutional prestige. Union University's administration, faculty, staff, student body and alumni seeks to honor those individuals or teams who have made outstanding contributions and the community at large by formally recognizing them in Union University's Hall of Fame.
