Make a Future Hall of Fame Nomination

Hall of Fame nominations for 2025 are now closed. However, nominations for future consideration can be made year-round. Nominate a classmate, teammate, friend, or any former student-athlete who you think deserves their spot in Brandeis Athletics history for consideration in 2026. Nominations should be made by the end of the current calendar year for consideration for induction next year.

Since 1993, the Joseph M. Linsey Athletic Hall of Fame has honored the top student-athletes, coaches and department supporters in Brandeis history. Inductees are decided upon each year in the spring, then formally inducted during Homecoming weekend in the fall.

Both individuals and teams are eligible for induction into the Joseph M. Linsey Hall of Fame. Individuals are eligible five years after graduation (or their last year of competition), and teams are eligible five years after the teams most notable achievement. Unless an individual is being inducted as a contributor, nominees must be former Varsity student-athletes and should be chosen on the basis of playing ability, character, and impact on Brandeis Athletics and campus community. Former coaches or non-Varsity athletes who have contributed outstanding services, support, or are otherwise distinctive to the department may be inducted as a contributor.

All nominations are reviewed by the Hall of Fame Nomination Committee each year in late winter/early spring. Please note that if you have already made a nomination in a previous year, you do not need to resubmit the same nomination. All nominations from previous years will continue to be considered for induction annually.
