PE Hall of Fame
We are excited to announce the creation of the Mines PE Hall of Fame! Starting this year we will in - duct a new class of illustrious alumni on every even numbered year.
A committee of alumni and friends of the depart - ment spent the last several months deciding on who to include in this inaugural class. We weren’t plan- ning on having this many, but there are so many amazing alumni from the last 100 years that we couldn’t narrow it down any further.
Check out the new PE Hall of Fame website for de- tails about the selection criteria and full bios for all of the inductees.
