The College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to announce its class of 2005 Hall of Fame Inductees—a group of 19 outstanding leaders in their fields from across the nation. "This College has produced so many fine leaders that it was difficult to limit the list," said Dean Olson. "This is truly an impressive group of individuals and I will be honored to meet each of them at the ceremony in February." All 19 of the Hall of Famers will be on campus on February 18-19th for festivities related to the formal induction ceremony.  

Induction into the College of Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame is an honor bestowed on current, past, or honorary members of the Arts and Sciences community. Nomination can be based on outstanding performance in one's profession; demonstrated leadership in one's profession and/or community; favorable statewide, national, or international recognition; honors from associations or employers; outstanding service to the institution; and/or proof that one's work has proven beneficial to a pronounced segment of society.
