Each hall of fame member represents greatness, with their accomplishments built on campus, after graduation or through meritorious efforts that benefit the UW-Oshkosh athletics program. The hall of fame will help preserve the storied history of the UW-Oshkosh athletics program while creating a unique connection between the decades of celebrated inductees who represented and continue to represent Titan Nation.
