Established by the University of New Mexico Alumni Lettermen's Association in 1986, the UNM Athletics Hall of Honor serves to perpetuate the mission of intercollegiate athletics at the University of New Mexico. Its goals are to promote a sense of pride among Alumni Lettermen, the University and the community; to preserve UNM's athletics history and traditions; and to recognize annually - by public ceremony - qualified individuals, groups and athletics teams from UNM and to enshrine their collective accomplishments.

In addition, the Hall of Honor helps current UNM student-athletes by allocating financial proceeds in the UNM Alumni Lettermen's Scholarship Endowment Fund so that deserving student-athletes, whose eligibility on the playing field has expired, may complete the work necessary to earn their respective degrees.
