NJCU Class of 2020 Hall of Fame Inductees 

Seven individuals and two teams have been elected to the New Jersey City University Hall of Fame Class of 2020 in voting conducted by the NJCU Athletics Hall of Fame Committee, Hall of Fame Veterans Committee and fan voting. One of the most illustrious Hall of Fame classes in school history will be officially enshrined on February 28, 2020. 

Men’s soccer star Cristhian Acuna `10 (2005-08), the women’s soccer A-C Connection of Jennifer Albuja `12 (2007-08, 2010-11) and the late Julia Caseres `12 (2009-11), volleyball coach and student-athlete Christopher Feliciano `03, (Coach: 2004-08; Athlete: (1999-03)), men’s basketball standouts Bob Johnson `71 (1967-71) and Jeffrey L. Jordan `91 (1987-91) and coach Frank Parisi, the founder of the women's bowling program (2000-13), all were elected to the 21st Hall of Fame class.

Additionally, the 1985-86 men’s basketball team—the first to reach the NCAA Division III Final Four—was the first-ever team elected by the newly-created Veteran’s Committee while the 2003-04 women’s bowling team was elected by the full committee, becoming the first modern-era women’s program to ever be elected.

Acuna, Albuja, Caseres, Feliciano and Parisi were the five individuals ultimately elected by the 2019-20 Hall of Fame committee. In one of the closest ballots in NJCU Athletics Hall of Fame history, only seven points separated fifth through eighth places on an impressive list of 10 finalists. Feliciano, with 342 votes, won the inaugural online fan voting, followed by Caseres (300) and Parisi (240).

Johnson was the first-ever individual elected by the Veteran’s Committee. Meanwhile, Jordan, who was officially elected in 2017 and joined NJCU’s administrative team as Associate Director of Athletics for Internal Operations, will be officially honored as part of the Class of 2020.

The last Hall of Fame induction—the 20th class—was held on Thursday, January 26, 2017 and expanded the membership of the University's Hall of Fame to 139 individuals and two teams, since being founded in 1979. The new inductees will increase that exclusive membership to 146 individuals and four teams.
