The Christensen Hall of Fame addition to the King Center honors past athletes, coaches, teams, athletic traditions, and contributors by permanently dedicating a place to remember the past and look to the future with pride for what the School of Mines stand for on the playing field and in the classroom.
The Christensen Hall of Fame also honors Jim and Nancy Christensen, longtime supporters of the School of Mines. The Christensens' ties to School of Mines, its athletic programs, and the Hardrock Club are deep.
While Jim was a School of Mines student int he 1950s, he was a member of the Hardrock football and track teams. He graduated from the School of Mines with a degree in General Engineering in 1957. A donation from the Christensens made the Hall of Fame possible.
