Our most prestigious honor...
This distinction recognizes individuals or organizations who have made significant academic, volunteer, or philanthropic contributions to the growth and development of the Black Hawk College East Campus. Since 1992, the Black Hawk East College Foundation has inducted 30 individuals into its prestigious Wall of Fame. Contact us if you would like to tour the Wall of Fame.
Our founders were the first to be inducted into the Wall of Fame, including Robert Eastman, Robert Glidden, Gust "Brick" Lundberg, E.O. Good and Roy "Tex" Reynolds. They were responsible for securing the funding necessary to purchase a site for a permanent campus and establish a library at the new campus through the creation of the Black Hawk East College Foundation. Their pioneering efforts—and those inductees since—have made the Black Hawk College East Campus the quality higher education institution it is today.
Additionally, we have honored numerous individuals and organizations with our Distinguished Service Award (shown below), which is presented during our Wall of Fame recognition events. Their names are proudly displayed on the Distinguished Service Award Plaque on the Wall of Fame.
In 2014, we expanded the Wall of Fame recognition program to include a named scholarship, grant, or special project for the East Campus, as a means to further recognize inductees for their exceptional academic achievements, scholarship, volunteer, or financial support to the Black Hawk College East Campus.
