Nominees are not eligible until two years after they last participated in intercollegiate athletics at the university.
Distinguished Letter Winners – Letter winners and student-athletes who have made major contributions to the university athletic program through personal time, effort, interest and through many years of continued service, or have distinguished themselves as exceptional in their chosen field of endeavor. Nominees are not eligible until six years after they last participated in intercollegiate athletics at the university.
Lifetime Achievement – Individuals, coaches, athletic officials, staff members and other university officials, who were not letter winners or student-athletes at Vanderbilt University, yet have rendered outstanding service to the intercollegiate athletics program through personal time, effort, interest and through many years of continued service.
