The Southwestern Oklahoma State University Athletics Hall of Fame was started as a way to enshrine student-athletes, coaches and contributors who have made a significant impact on the university and the SWOSU Athletics Department. The Hall of Fame selection committee, comprised of SWOSU Athletic Staff and Alumni, meets each fall to select candidates for induction during that school year.

Information about Current Members of the SWOSU Athletic Hall of Fame can be found HERE.
