The Athletic Program at Hunter College is proud of its heritage and salutes the thousands of alumni who played significant roles in its development. It is our goal to strengthen the ties between the past and present while continuing to integrate alumni into the current program. The Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet, Athletic Homecoming, and Alumni Days for specific sports are just some of the special events designed for alumni participation.

Alumni Support
With the continued growth and success of the Hunter College Athletic Program, the need for alumni support is crucial to the future development of the program. With the rising costs of administering an athletic program, the need for appropriate equipment, facility renovation, capital projects, coaching staff, and recruiting publications is of paramount importance in meeting the new challenges we will face in the coming years.

We need your help now more than ever, as your financial support translates directly into giving our student-athletes the best chance to excel in their chosen sports. The most significant benefit of giving an annual contribution is the satisfaction in knowing that your support is personally helping to raise the level of the athletic program.

Alumni Contributions
With 20 varsity sports providing hundreds of student-athletes the chance to compete on an intercollegiate basis, external support is necesary to maintain the high standards the athletic program has set throughout the years.

If you wish, you may direct your gift to a particular team (or teams) or to the general athletic fund. Endowments are another means of contributing that will benefit a sport or program in perpetuity. For income tax purposes, you may deduct your charitable contribution to the program.

Alumni Search
One of our main goals is to update our database with current addresses and interesting information on Hunter College athletic alumni. Please notify us if you or any of your former teammates have an address change. We are also looking for pertinent data on alumni to place on our athletic web site or send out in our periodic newsletters. Information can range from current job status to post-Hunter athletic exploits to reunions with teammates.

Alumni Days
In recent years, Alumni Day competitions for selected sports have been instituted. Many teams have had well attended events where alumni are given the opportunity to renew acquaintances and compete in friendly settings with one another. In the future, we are looking to increase the number of sports sponsoring Alumni Day events.

Athletic Hall of Fame
The Hunter College Athletic Hall of Fame was instituted in 1982 with the induction of six charter members. Over the ensuing years, nearly 100 Hunter College athletic standouts have been honored. A gala banquet is held each October as part of the Fall Celebration to introduce new members.

Nominations are solicited throughout the year. Alumni are always encouraged to forward names and information on former standouts you believe deserving of induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame to:
