The West Liberty University Alumni Association Board of Directors instituted a project in 1990 to showcase our very successful graduates of the University. This project is named the “Alumni Wall of Honor.” It is a dramatic way to honor some of the University’s most distinguished alumni. It eloquently displays the pride we hold in the accomplishments of our graduates.
The concept was suggested by Robert W. Schramm, ‘58, former Associate Professor of Physics, former West Liberty Board of Directors member, former college photographer and college archivist.The Alumni Wall of Honor is housed in the south end of the College Union in the Alumni Wall of Honor Conference Room and Lounge. To date, photographs and identifying nameplates of over 50 distinguished grads are displayed on the wall.
Each nominee must be a degree bearing graduate of West Liberty University, formerly known as West Liberty State College. A committee formed from the Alumni Association Board of Directors reviews all nominations in full and makes the final selection for induction.The following criteria are considered:
- Career Accomplishments
- Education Beyond West Liberty & Scholarly Activities
- Professional Honors & Awards
- Community and Public Service
- Voluntary Service to West Liberty
- Other Noteworthy Achievements
The annual cutoff date for nominations is April 30. Links to the nomination form can be found at the bottom of this page. The induction ceremony will take place during Homecoming weekend,October 7-9th, 2011. If you would like to nominate a person to be considered for induction into the Alumni Wall of Honor, please complete a nomination form along with a letter of recommendation and send to:
