Missouri Southern Athletics Hall of Fame
The Missouri Southern Athletics Hall of Fame was established to pay tribute, to give deserved recognition, and to enhance school tradition by honoring former athletic letterwinners and/or coaches who have shown distinctive,
unique, or exceptional ability while on campus of the school or since graduation. The honorees must be
graduates of Missouri Southern and there must have been a lapse of at least 10 years since the athlete last
participated in athletics at MSSU. In the case of meritorious service, nominees need not be graduates of
Missouri Southern.

Nominations must be received by March 15 to be considered for that year's Hall of Fame class.
Any nominations received after March 15 will be considered for the next class.

Please send all nominations to: Missouri Southern Athletics
                                              3950 E. Newman Road
                                              Joplin, Mo. 64801


A nomination form (as a Microsoft Word document) is available here. Criteria is available here.
