Alumni Hall of Fame
Recognizing Gator Greatness
The SFSU Alumni Hall of Fame was created in 1994 to honor alumni who have distinguished themselves through extraordinary achievements in their professional and civic endeavors.
A group of alumni are inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame at a celebration held each year in the fall. Photos of the recipients are displayed in the first-floor lobby of the Administration Building.
