Established in 1969, the C-Club Hall of Fame recognizes Cortland alumni who competed as athletes at the university and went on to distinguish themselves in their professions and within their communities. Honorary members are recognized for their long and significant contributions to SUNY Cortland athletics. New C-Club members have been added annually and this year's ceremony will bring the Hall of Fame roster to 311 alumni and 33 honorary members. A person must be nominated to be considered for induction.
