John Jay College Athletics Hall of FameÂ
The John Jay College Department of Athletics Hall of Fame began in 1993 with the induction of its first three members. Since that first ceremony, 33 of John Jay's most decorated athletes, teams, celebrated coaches, and valued supporters have been enshrined in recognition of their accomplishments. As we move forward, the John Jay College Department of Athletics looks to continue honoring former student-athletes, coaches, and "Friends of the Program" with future Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
Congratulations to all current John Jay College Hall of Fame members. We look forward to future ceremonies honoring more of the best who have ever represented John Jay Athletics.
