Mission Statement
The role of the athletic program is to support
the overall University mission. Intercollegiate
competition has been an integral part of higher
education in America for more than a century.
The University endorses the concept of
“Athletics as Education” described in the policy
statement adopted by the American Council on
Education in 1984, which cites key
contributions ofathletics to the individual, the
institution, and society as a whole, as
follows:“Among these contribtuions are the
development of discipline, teamwork and selfconfidence
of individuals who particpate, the
improvment and substance of institutional
reputations and morale, and the heightening of
visibility that aids in recruitment of students
and financial contributions.” The basic premise
underlying these very positive contributions is
that athletics is, and must continue to be, an
important part of the educational process.
