The Nanooks Hall of Fame was established on Jan. 9, 2008, to honor and preserve the memory of the men and women who, through their outstanding contributions both in intercollegiate athletics and community involvement, have brought honor and distinction to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

It exists to recognize not only outstanding contributions of student-athletes, but the contributions of coaches, administrators, athletic staff, community members, and others who, in a positive way, have promoted the mission of the university and the Alaska Nanooks.
