Background: The Franklin Hall of Fame was initiated in 1992 by students and staff to honor alumni and staff who had played inspirational roles at Franklin or who had made important contributions in their fields following graduation. In 1998 the Alumni Association was asked to take over the role of choosing new members. Additional inductions into the Hall of Fame took place in 1998, 2000, 2005, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019. Hall of Fame 2022 will take place on May 19, 2022. Inductees have already been selected for 2022. We welcome nominations on an ongoing basis for future Hall of Fame ceremonies.
