The Hall of Excellence was established in 1987 to honor alumni of member institutions of The Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges whose lifetime achievements exemplify the traditions, ideals, strengths, and values of private higher education. Hall of Excellence members strongly reflect the historic ability of independent colleges, through academic excellence and personalized educational concepts, to prepare graduates for global opportunities and challenges in business and industry and the arts and sciences and for service to society, community and nation. The accomplishments and contributions of these alumni demonstrate the measurable returns from continuing investments in the education of today’s students and future leaders, many of whom, in time, will take their honored and deserved places in the OFIC Hall of Excellence.
