| The Shawnee State University Athletic Hall of Fame will exist to
recognize members of the Shawnee State University community who have
distinguished themselves in the field of athletics. This will be
determined by their performance as a student-athlete at the
university or meritorious efforts on behalf of athletics as a
student, athletic administrator, or coach.
Inductees into the Shawnee State Athletic Hall of
Fame must satisfy the following criteria:
Section A. Student-Athlete
1.) Eligible for induction five (5) years after
final intercollegiate athletic participation.
2.) Minimum qualification of one or more of the following:
all-conference selection, special conference award recipient, NAIA
statistical leader, NAIA national award recipient or other
accomplishment.
3.) Must have participated in an intercollegiate program as a junior
or senior.
4.) Must exemplify the academics and community standards of Shawnee
State University.
5.) No more than three (3) individuals may be inducted in this
category each year.

1.) Eligible for induction five (5) years after
departure from university or have been at the university for at
least 15 years.
2.) Must have coached or administrated for at least three (3) years.

Section C. Special Category

Association.
In addition, the SSU Athletic Hall of Fame created the Ralph
Kavanaugh Home Team Award in 2005. The Home Team Award is
meant to recognize special service, spirit, and loyalty to Shawnee
State Athletics. Ralph Kavanaugh, long time equipment
manager at Shawnee State, was the first recipient of the
award. The award will not be presented on an annual basis,
and only those individuals whose service and loyalty to the
university is unparalleled will be considered.
