The Northern Arizona University Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1981 to honor those persons who have made outstanding contributions to NAU athletics.

Its purpose is to pay tribute and give lasting recognition to those student-athletes, coaches, staff and teams who have made exceptional contributions and brought recognition, honor and distinction to Northern Arizona University in the field of Intercollegiate Athletics, and who have continued to demonstrate in their lives the values imparted by their experience.

Student-athletes, coaches and staff become eligible for nomination five years after their careers at Northern Arizona University have concluded. Student-athletes must have competed for a minimum of two years at NAU. A team may be nominated for induction based on extraordinary accomplishment (i.e. NCAA Championship, Regional or Conference Championship). National championship teams are automatic selections for the Hall of Fame. The time of induction will be determined by the committee and Athletic Director.

The next NAU Athletics Hall of Fame Class will be inducted in 2024 and will continue every other year. Nominations are being accepted by filling out this form (PDF). For more info, please contact Uri Farkas at Uri.Farkas@nau.edu.
