THE MIDWEEK
DeKALB – Northern Illinois University Athletics, in conjunction with the Huskie Varsity Club, is seeking nominations for the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame 2022 induction class.
NIU Athletics had been scheduled to induct a new Hall of Fame class in 2021, however, due to the pandemic, the selection of the new Hall of Fame class has been moved to next year. A new class will be selected in even years moving forward. ”Over the years, the selection process has become more challenging due to the outstanding accomplishments of NIU student-athletes,” Rodney Davis, former Huskie Men’s Basketball (19841988) standout and 2007 NIU Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, said in a news release. “The community’s input in the selection process is an invaluable asset to the selection committee as they identify deserving hall of fame candidates.
“I encourage NIU alumni, fans, family and friends to participate by submitting nominations online or via mail to ensure that all worthy individuals receive an open and fair opportunity to be a Huskie Hall of Famer,” he said in the release.
Candidacy for the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2022 is open to outstanding Huskie student-athlete alumni and teams who are no less than 10 years removed from the completion of their intercollegiate athletics eligibility. Former NIU coaches and administrators who have retired or have departed the university at least five years prior to the previous Hall of Fame induction class are also eligible for nomination to the Hall of Fame.
To clarify, student-athletes that completed their intercollegiate athletics eligibility in 2011-12 can be nominated for the 2022 Class. For coaches, administration and staff, the first eligibility year is 2016-17.
Candidates for consideration must have provided and/or exhibited outstanding contributions to intercollegiate athletics at NIU. Nominations are open to all individuals who wish to support the candidacy of a standout Huskie student-athlete alumnus, team, coach or administrator to be considered by the Hall of Fame committee.
Nominations will be accepted through the online form or via mail using the PDF form. Letters of nomination for each candidate along with any pertinent copies or links to online newspaper or magazine content, yearbooks, or scrapbooks may be sent to: Hall of Fame, NIU Intercollegiate Athletics, Convocation Center 203A, 1525 W. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb, IL, 60115. Any original support materials cannot be returned.
The deadline for nominations is Jan. 31. The NIU Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2022 will be announced in April. The 2022 HOF induction ceremony will be held during NIU Homecoming 2022.

Provided photo Open Door Rehabilitation Center invites the public to visit ODDO, the center’s octopus mascot. ODDO is short for “Opening Doors and Developing Opportunities.” It represents the balanced life promoted for the individuals served at Open Door. Local artist Eulojio Ortega brought ODDO to life with his painting at Open Door’s east building, located on South Wells Street in Sandwich. Each tentacle on ODDO is full of tattoos, representing the eight areas of life: work and money, community and service, health and well-being, personal image and self-direction, personal relationships, culture and spirituality, fun and recreation, and home and personal space. Open Door encourages community members to stop and take pictures with ODDO. For more information, contact Kayla at kaylagomez@odrc.org or 815-786-8468, ext. 222.
