Inducted: May 21, 1999

Inaugural members of Fairleigh Dickinson University's Division I Athletics Hall of Fame, George and Phyllis Rothman made a donation to the athletics department which made possible the building of the Athletics Center on the Teaneck/Hackensack campus which bears their name. The Rothman Center provides all FDU students with an outstanding recreation facility and serves as the headquarters of the University's Division I basketball, fencing, volleyball and track programs. It also provides a much-needed site for major university wide events, including convocations, lectures and concerts. In its brief existence the Rothman Center has made history, hosting dignitaries such as President George Bush, President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and Israel's Leah Rabin.
