- Description:
- "Cornell Football Association Joseph P. King Memorial Award A timeless supporter of Cornell University and Big Red Athletics, Joseph P. King was the first person to receive the Cornell Football Association Memorial Award when he was honored posthumously in 2000. Four years later, the award was renamed the Joseph P. King Memorial Award. It will continue as a tribute to deceased alumni and friends who made outstanding contributions to the proud tradition of Cornell Football. A 1936 graduate of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, King played football for two seasons at Cornell after two seasons with Nebraska. Upon graduation, he served the university by actively recruiting student athletes to play football, as well as many other sports. He championed both men's and women's sports and numerous academic programs. Along the way, he made countless friends across generations of Cornellians. When not scouting or leading fundraising campaigns, Joe found time to serve Cornell with distinction as a trustee, a trustee emeritus and a presidential councilor, the University's highest honor. He served on many committees at the university, including the advisory council for physical education and athletics. A half-century after his graduation, Joe was enshrined in the Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame in 1986
