HALL OF HONOR
Register now to attend the 2010 Hall of Honor Dinner!
We Honor Great Athletes and Great People!
The UNM Athletic Hall of Honor was founded in 1986 and operates under the auspices of the UNM Alumni Lettermen’s Association in cooperation with the UNM Alumni Association and Athletic Department.
The Hall of Honor was established to perpetuate the mission of intercollegiate athletics at the University of New Mexico; to promote a sense of pride among Alumni Lettermen, the University and the community; to preserve UNM’s athletic history and traditions; and to recognize annually, by public ceremony, qualified individuals, groups and athletic teams from UNM – and enshrine them in the Hall of Honor.
In recognition of their achievements, inductees – chosen for having achieved extraordinary distinction as athletes and citizens – are awarded a Hall of Honor ring and a commemorative plaque, and their picture is permanently displayed at UNM’s Wall of Athletic Honor at the UNM Basketball Arena – the Pit.
Any proceeds derived from the UNM Hall of Honor activities are placed in the Alumni Lettermen’s Scholarship fund so that deserving athletes whose varsity eligibility has expired may complete work toward a degree.
