We are excited to announce the 2022 inductees:
Dorothy ‘Dot’ Diehl(posthumously), who amassed 120 wins over 16 seasons while leading the PSU field hockey program for two separate stints, from 1973-75, and 1977-89. Her teams appeared in eight postseason tournaments, while she piloted the program to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1984 and captured an ECAC title in 1987. More importantly, Diehl was an important advocate for women’s sports, while her efforts raised greater equity for all athletics programs at Plymouth State.
John P. Clark ’71, ’73G, former Athletic Director whose impact on Plymouth State and Panther Athletics cannot be measured. As student body president, Clark played a primary role in introducing varsity football to Plymouth State. He held multiple roles on campus before taking over as Athletic Director from 1980-85, a period that experienced tremendous success, particularly in men’s soccer and football, and returned to the role from 2001-15. He played a key role in the creation of the Little East Conference (LEC) and oversaw numerous advances in athletics facilities and sport offerings.
Kalie Judd ’10, a standout scorer on the women’s lacrosse team and two-year starter on the women’s basketball team from the 2007-08 to 2009-10 seasons. Judd was a three-time All-LEC First Teamer and earned Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Region honors as a senior, becoming the 14th player in program history to eclipse 100 career goals. She also served as a three-year veteran at point guard on the basketball team, averaging 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game as a senior while helping the team to a 17-11 record.
Dan Fallon ’07, a four-year starter and two-year co-captain at defensive back on the football team, who claimed Freedom Football Conference (FFC) Rookie of the Year honors and was an All-New England Football Conference (NEFC) First Team selection as a senior (Plymouth State was an independent school during his sophomore and junior seasons). Named the department’s John C. Foley Senior Leadership Award winner, Fallon led the team in tackles in three of his four seasons, before helping the Panthers to a 27-6 record and three postseason appearances during his three years as an assistant coach.

The Brothers Grim hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family, and the choices we make.
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece… and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
A Disney film adaptation, directed by Rob Marshall, was released in 2014. The film grossed over $213 million worldwide, and received three nominations at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.
A second Broadway revival began performances on June 28, 2022, at the St. James Theatre.

Students whose work was chosen received an award and are honored by having their work become part of the collection. Throughout the years, this collection has grown and is available for loan to display in offices across campus.
