Seven alumni were inducted into The University of Mississippi Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday.

Haley Barbour of Yazoo City, David W. Houston III of Aberdeen, Dick Molpus of Jackson, Carol Ross of Oakland, Jan Griffin Farrington of Ridgeland, Lucy P. Priddy of Vicksburg and Stephanie Saul of Port Washington, N.Y., were honored at the ceremony on Friday night.

The Alumni Association Hall of Fame was created in 1974 to honor specific alumni who have made noteworthy contributions to their country, state or to the university through their services or behavior that encompass the spirit of Ole Miss.

Farrington received the Alumni Service Award for her extended service to Ole Miss and the Alumni Association. Priddy received the Outstanding Young Alumni Award, earning recognition for her outstanding leadership in her first 15 years of graduating from Ole Miss, for both her dedication to her alma mater and her career.

The Hall of Fame ceremony is an annual event hosted by the Alumni Association as part of homecoming.
