Gregory Hall, '82 BS Education in Secondary Education, retired in 2011 after 24 years as an FBI special agent. Returning to Southern Nevada, he became active in volunteer work with military veterans. In early 2017, he appeared in an episode of the Travel Channel television show, Expedition Unknown, about the infamous airline skyjacker known as "DB Cooper." The episode was inspired by an article he researched and published in 2016 in which he advances a compelling new theory of how the unsolved hijacking was done. This marked his second time appearing as a researcher on a television show. In 2004, he appeared as a Word War II military historian on the History Channel documentary Rescue at Dawn; The Los Banos Raid. He traveled with the film crew for location shooting in the Philippines. His research for the documentary also led to the publication of a novel, Not Forgotten, depicting the same event. He is a U.S. Army veteran, having served near the end of the Vietnam War. He was a paratrooper in the infantry, trained and qualified as a door gunner on Huey helicopters, and attained the noncommissioned offer rank of sergeant. After that he attended UNLV on the GI Bill. After graduating, he entered the U.S. Air Force and obtained an officer's commission as a second lieutenant. He served in the security police (now known as security forces) career field before joining the FBI.

Randall Cunningham, '04 BS Recreation & Leisure Studies, in 2016 became the first player in UNLV history to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The former UNLV All-American punter and quarterback was inducted during a ceremony in December. To be eligible for the ballot, players must have been named First Team All-America by a major/national selector as recognized and utilized by the NCAA for their consensus All-America teams, played their last year of intercollegiate football at least 10 years prior, played within the last 50 years, and cannot be currently playing professional football. Of the 5.12 million individuals who have played college football since the first recognized game in 1869, only 963 players and 209 coaches have been immortalized in the Hall (two ten-thousandths of all individuals — .0002). While an offensive force on the field, Cunningham earned All-America honors primarily as a punter. He is the only Rebel to post three punts of 70 yards or longer. He set 18 individual school records and finished his collegiate career by leading the Rebels to their first-ever bowl-game appearance — a 30-13 victory over Toledo in the 1984 California Bowl. Inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 1997, he remains the only UNLV football player to have his jersey, No. 12, retired. The first quarterback selected in the 1985 NFL Draft when he went No. 37 overall to the Philadelphia Eagles, Cunningham went on to turn in a hall-of-fame-level professional career. A four-time Pro Bowl invitee, he was a three-time winner of the Bert Bell Award, which annually goes to the league's top player, and was named the 1998 NFL Offensive Player of the Year while with the Minnesota Vikings.
