Hall of Fame

The Mercer Education Foundation would like to recognize former students and faculty who have as a result of their association with the Mercer School, made significant contributions to their field of work, their community or society.

  1. Each nomination shall be supported by a letter of nomination by the chief nominator outlining the case for the nomination, with letters of support by at least two other individuals who support the nomination.  Letters should clearly outline the candidate's strengths in the relevant areas described in the criteria below. As appropriate, a copy of the candidate's curriculum vitae for the entire career should be submitted. Nominees with insufficient letters of support will not be considered until the nominating conditions have been met.
  2. In the event of the Foundation receiving more than two nominations in any given year, up to two candidates per category may remain in the eligibility pool for up to two additional years without further supporting documentation or re-nomination. If at the end of those two years, the nominees have not been inducted into the Hall, they will be eligible for selection again after a period of three years has lapsed and they are re-nominated.
  3. Nominees should have a distinguished career or record of service spanning more than 25 years.
