Who joins M Club?

Anyone lettering in a varsity sport at Mount Union College is eligible to be a member of M Club upon graduation. 

 

The M Club serves to raise additional revenue to supplement the annual operations and capital budget of the athletic programs to be more competitive.

 

Members will receive a membership card granting free admission to all regular season on-campus athletic events.

 

The major activities of the Club include the Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony and luncheon, membership drive, the annual summer golf outing, and other fundraising events.

 

Please support the organization that supports our athletes by being a dues paying member of the M Club.  Membership levels are now being created.


Why pay dues?

M Club dues enhance the Club's ability to provide support to the current athletic programs at the College as well as continue to fund the functions of the club.

 

It is the intent of the Club to reorganize its dues structure to reflect a more appropriate tiered approach that will allow for additional gifts to be made in support of the athletic club and our current student athletic programs.

 

Most recent examples of M Club support are:

  • Annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
  • 1946 & 1947 Sports Reunion
  • Purchased team travel bags for the swimming teams due to increased number of members
  • Purchased team game chairs for the Volleyball, Basketball, and Wrestling teams
  • Assisted the wrestling team purchase new mats
  • Provided team dinner and a night at a NBA game during a Men's Basketball tournament in Arizona
  • A bench was purchased in honor of M Club member and long time Club supporter Hugh Jae

Future examples of what M Club could support with your dues membership:

  • Entry fees for Volleyball, Soccer, and Basketball teams to participate in more competitive tournament play
  • Travel expenses beyond budgetary means for teams to compete outside of Ohio

 

M Club Committees:

Three committees exist within the M Club organizational structure:

  • The Nominations/Hall of Fame Committee is responsible for the review and selection of the prestigious M Club Hall of Fame inductees. This committee is also responsible for reviewing the bylaws annually to ensure their appropriateness.
  • The Events Committee coordinates social gatherings used to build camaraderie as well as raise funds for the operation of M Club events. These events may include golf outings, reverse raffles and any other special events planned at particular sporting events.
  • The Special Projects Committee develops and oversees projects such as the Ring Fund, Scholarship projects such as the Wable Scholarship and any other special projects deemed worthy of the club's support.

Hall of Fame:

Each year, Mount Union College honors a select group of former student-athletes, coaches and athletic supporters with induction into the M Club Hall of Fame during a ceremony luncheon. Campus recognition of the inductees takes place during half-time of the football game.

There are three categories of membership: M Club Hall of Fame, M Club Award of Excellence and Honorary M Club member.

The Hall of Fame Selection Committee reviews the criteria used for Hall of Fame selection and decided that the following guidelines would continue to be used as the basis for selection:

'The record and character of the individual must be so outstanding that there is no question as to his or her qualifications.'

Class of 2008 to be announced soon.
