Wall of Fame

Black Hawk College East Foundation

Our Most Prestigious Honor

The Wall of Fame honors individuals and organizations whose leadership and generosity have played a defining role in advancing academic excellence, expanding opportunity, and strengthening the East Campus community, with impact that extends throughout the region.

Our first inductees—Robert Eastman, Robert Glidden, Gust “Brick” Lundberg, E.O. Good, and Roy “Tex” Reynolds—secured the funding that made a permanent East Campus possible. Their pioneering leadership created a foundation of excellence that continues to shape East Campus today.
