1999 Hall of Fame Inductee
George and Phyllis Rothman


The final members of the inaugural induction class are GEORGE and PHYLLIS ROTHMAN. The Rothman's contribution to the FDU athletics department came in the form a donation 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 recreational facility as well as serving as the home of the FDU men's and women's basketball teams. In addition, the Center also hosts many charity events in the tradition of the founding couple such as the Teaneck Special Olympics and the Juvenile Diabetes Walk-a-thon, while also serving as the site for major University-wide events such as the Convocation, lectures and concerts.
