Hall of Fame

 

The purpose of the University of Northern Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize former University of Northern Colorado athletes, faculty and staff members and others associated with the University of Northern Colorado who have distinguished themselves in the field of athletics, either by virtue of their performance on the athletic teams representing the university, or by outstanding contributions on behalf of athletics.

The Northern Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame began in 1994, when a group of eight individuals were members of the inaugural class. Entering its 20th year in 2013, the Hall of Fame has now grown to include 128 individuals and 30 athletic teams.

Nominations for the Hall of Fame are accepted all year long. The selection commitee generally meets each December to select that year's inductees. A nomination form can be found below.

Once a nomination has been made, that individual/team does not have to be nominated again to be considered. They will always remain in the pool for the selection committee to consider each year.
