Each year since 1987, the TJCCAA has inducted a deserving candidate into their Hall of Fame. This year, Dr. Jack Campbell, president emeritus of Walters State Community College was chosen for the honor.

Dr. Campbell has been widely recognized as a president who provided unwavering leadership in the development of an intercollegiate athletic program of the highest quality and one who made a significant impact at the state and national levels.

His vision for a successful athletic program was that the college's teams would win, but would win with character and integrity. He employed highly qualified staff and coaches who embraced his vision and supported them and worked with them to build one of the most successful athletic programs in the state and nation among community colleges.

Dr. Campbell was extremely active with the TJCCAA and served as the association's vice president and president for several years. He was instrumental in convincing the Tennessee Board of Regents and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission that intercollegiate athletics added great value to the community colleges and had a strong role in the development of operational and funding guidelines, whereby the community colleges could sustain effective programs.

As a member of the American Association of Community College Board of Directors, he supported the NJCAA and engendered support at the state and regional level for important national issues.
