Mission Statement 

The mission of the Essex County College Wolverines Athletic Hall of Fame is to honor our student-athletes, coaches, administrators and athletic teams. Through their participation, body of work, and athletic and academic achievements, they have made outstanding contributions to Essex County College and to the athletic program. Their enshrinement serves as a means of honoring and recognizing their significant contributions to the Essex Wolverines tradition of athletic excellence.

Essex County College has maintained a rich history of success with its student-athletes and teams for over half a century. The College is looking to honor these student-athletes, teams, coaches and administrators in the new ECC Hall of Fame to be housed in the Cleo Hill, Sr. Physical Education Building on the Newark campus.

“It’s time we formally recognize this history of athletic prowess in a fitting manner. Our College has had many Olympians who have won medals. We have had many All-Americans in all our sports. Our teams have won national championships. The list goes on,” said Dean of Student Affairs Dr. Keith Kirkland.

“The Athletic Hall of Fame will be a showcase and an inspiration to our entire College. ECC provided a springboard for so many students through athletics. These student-athletes have gone on to successful careers, not just in sports, but in in any field they have chosen. We are proud of them and they should be recognized in this manner,” said ECC’s President, Dr. Augustine A. Boakye.
