About the Hall of Honor & Past Recipents

In the past, prominent business alumni were inducted into the College of Business Alumni Hall of Honor during Business Night, an event that has gained significant recognition over the years for providing mentoring opportunities and student awards. In 2006, the College held its inaugual Hall of Honor Awards in an evening of its own, and expanded the induction of the honorees to include outstanding non-alumni business professionals who have contributed to the College and to our community. In addition, beginning in 2007, funds raised from the event will benefit the Shidler College of Business Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship Fund.
