Hampton Athletics Hall of Fame
Dr. Ollie Bowman
- Induction:
- 2026
Dr. Ollie Bowman wore a number of hats in the more than 30 years he worked at Hampton Institute. He served as Dean of Admissions, Assistant Dean of the Graduate College, a tenured professor of biology, Faculty Athletic Chairman, vice president of the Hampton Pirates Boosters Club and Chairman of the Federal Credit Union credit committee. He also served as president of the CIAA and worked on numerous NCAA committees dealing with student-athlete welfare. He was a regular at Hampton athletic events and often traveled to away games to cheer on the Pirates. He was a recognizable face by almost all Hampton student-athletes who knew him either through the admissions process or by his attendance at athletic events. His final tribute to Hampton was his request that following his death in 2007, donations may be sent to the Ollie M. Bowman Jr. Scholarship Endowment Fund, Hampton University.
