"A university is often measured by the quality of the product it produces...its students. Grambling State University embraces this theory and salutes its graduates for their continued quest for excellence." President Horace Judson Grambling State University was founded in 1901 and offers degrees in seventy-two (72) disciplines, graduate and undergraduate, in four (4) colleges and three (3) schools. Grambling State University Alumni are recognized nationally and internationally as exceptional individuals performing or having performed, extraordinary feats within and beyond their areas of study and practice. These are the graduates that Grambling State University celebrates by bestowing them with the honor of induction in their "rightful place", The Grambling State University Hall of Fame, Gallery of Distinction. |
The Grambling State University Hall of Fame was initially started in 1980, under the administration of Dr. Joseph B. Johnson and has been dormant since 1996. Restoring the Hall of Fame is consistent with President Horace Judson’s mission of “Reclaiming Our Legacy and Claiming Our Place”. The location of the awardees from 1980 to 1996 are located in the recently renovated home of the university founder and initial inductee, Charles P. Adams (1901-1932).
The Gallery of Distinction, authorized by the current administration, resides in a select location within the buildings of each of the academic colleges and schools. Photographs of these greats are represented by class graduation dates and induction years. Class photographs of succeeding Hall of Fame inductees will also be housed in the Founder's Home.
