The inaugural class of 20 inductees included a wide range of A&S alumni, former faculty and administrators, and others who helped shape the college we see today. Dean Blaine Hudson writes, "The Centennial Class of inductees included only a few of the many faculty and administrators who built and sustained the College, and only a few of the former students who achieved distinction in their lives after U of L. Thus, the creation of the Hall of Honor was not, nor was it intended to be, a one-time event, but the beginning of a new annual tradition— a tradition with no sunset date as long as A&S continues to attract world-class faculty, staff and students." 2008-09 A&S Hall of Honor Inductions In February 2009, four former A&S faculty and administrators were inducted to the Hall of Honor, recognizing their lasting contributions to the college and university. 2009-10 A&S Hall of Honor inductions Four new members were inducted into the A&S Hall of Honor on Thursday, February 25, 2010: Lucy M.
