The Baldwin Wallace University Athletics Alumni Association Hall of Fame was created in 1965 to recognize exceptional achievements and impact on the Brown & Gold. Today, 369 Yellow Jackets for Life have been honored with induction to the Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame Selection Committee considers nominations in four categories (Athlete,Coach/Administrator, Team or Honorary), based upon accomplishments during the nominee's time at BW, or in some circumstances, significant recognition for athletics achievement outside of BW. 

Nominations are accepted from the public on a rolling basis, and selection is determined annually in the spring.
