WSSU Clarence E. "Big
House"
Gaines Athletic Hall Of Fame
The Winston-Salem State
University Clarence E. "Big House" Gaines Athletic Hall of Fame is the highest
individual honor that a former athlete, athletic administrator or private
individual can receive at Winston-Salem State University. Restored by WSSU
Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell in 2002, the WSSU C.E. Gaines Athletic Hall of Fame
honors an annual class of new inductees in the fall of every academic year after
an exhaustive year-long nomination, review, and induction voting process by a
15-member panel.
Inductees are available in three
distinct categories with former athletes, former coaches, and those who have
devoted countless hours of tireless work to the Athletic Department through
meritorious service being eligible for enshrinement. Listed below are links to the online, printable
nomination form and to the updated WSSU Athletic history.
