College of Nursing Hall of Fame Nomination

The ECU College of Nursing (CON) Hall of Fame (HOF) honors nursing excellence and recognizes the accomplishments of exemplary ECU CON graduates and faculty members. Induction into the HOF is a way for the CON to publicly acknowledge and express thanks to alumni and present/former faculty members who have reflected great credit upon the CON. The HOF is one of the highest honors bestowed by the ECU CON. Twelve inductees will be selected each year. Nurses may not nominate each other in the same nomination cycle.

Criteria for inclusion in the College of Nursing Hall of Fame:

  • Have a history of exceptional accomplishments in nursing practice, education, research, and/or administration.
  • Have a demonstrated history of community service and involvement beyond job requirements.
  • Be a College of Nursing alumni and/or be a present or former College of Nursing faculty member.
  • Have practiced as a registered nurse for a minimum of ten years.

In order to support student scholarships, each Hall of Fame (HOF) nomination that is accepted for induction into the HOF must be accompanied by a $1000 tax deductible donation. The nominator will be notified if their nominee has been accepted for induction into the HOF and how to make the $1000 donation by November 1st. Once the $1000 donation is received the nominee will be notified of their honor and next steps for induction.

How It Works

The CON HOF Board of Directors solicits nominations of new inductees every year. Anyone may nominate. Selected nominees are inducted and receive a flame glass award (engraved with the name of the honoree) at the annual HOF Induction Banquet hosted by the CON and the ECU Health Foundation. In addition, the inductee’s name will be added to the HOF membership list displayed at the CON and on the CON HOF web page.
