The Department of Athletics, in conjunction with the University Mission, seeks to provide our student athletes with an education for life. Encompassed in this mission, the department endeavors to instill in our student athletes the values of hard work, teamwork, discipline, respect for others and self, character, perseverance, integrity, and not only a will to win on the playing field, but also in life.
We seek to instill these values as well as other positive experiences in our student-athletes along with the desire to succeed academically and earn their degree. Additionally, we strive to prepare our student-athletes to be winners and champions on the playing fields and to adhere to the rules and regulations of the University, the Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
