Alumni Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame
The Cochise College Hall of Fame honors former students, volunteers, community leaders and former faculty/staff whose actions have:
- exceeded the expectations of their role and positively advanced the college’s legacy, or
- left a legacy that made a significant impact on the institution and/or its students.
The 2023 induction class honored donor George Bugen, whose bequest is helping the college expand housing; previous classes have honored successful alumni who have continued as college ambassadors, college retirees whose work positively shifted the course of the institution, and community members who have advocated for the college.
Nominations for the 2024 Hall of Fame induction class are now being accepted. Volunteers, community leaders and former students and employees may be nominated as individuals or as a group, team or family.
For details on what information is needed, and to submit a nomination, fill out the nomination form. The nomination deadline is June 1, 2024, with induction expected in Fall 2024.
