Welcome to <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong><br />
Tiger <strong>Athletics</strong><br />
From the President<br />
Hello to all Dakota Wesleyan<br />
University students, athletes,<br />
faculty, staff, alumni, fans, families<br />
and friends, and welcome to<br />
another exciting season of Tiger<br />
athletics. Our sports teams and<br />
student-athletes are an essential<br />
part of the <strong>DWU</strong> family, and Dakota<br />
Wesleyan sincerely appreciates<br />
your devoted support.<br />
We enter the <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong> academic<br />
year with high hopes that this will<br />
be an unforgettable year on the<br />
<strong>DWU</strong> campus, both academically<br />
and athletically. This year, we<br />
renew our commitment to<br />
academic excellence and student<br />
engagement, and we look forward<br />
to an exciting future. Throughout<br />
our history, athletics have been an<br />
important part of Wesleyan, and<br />
that tradition continues as we<br />
anticipate success for our teams<br />
on the field, court, course and<br />
track, as well as in the classroom.<br />
Whether with your presence at<br />
athletic events or through your<br />
monetary contributions, your<br />
support of our school, students,<br />
athletes, coaches and teams is<br />
greatly appreciated. The Dakota<br />
Wesleyan University family has<br />
never been stronger, and for that,<br />
we offer our sincere gratitude.<br />

TIGERS<br />
From the Athletic Director<br />
Hello and welcome to the start of<br />
another great season of Dakota<br />
Wesleyan University athletics.<br />
There has never been a better time<br />
to be a <strong>DWU</strong> Tiger than right now.<br />
We have an excellent group of<br />
coaches in place who have their<br />
goals set high and are committed<br />
to taking their programs to new<br />
heights in <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong> and beyond.<br />
We have a first-rate group of<br />
student-athletes who proudly<br />
represent Dakota Wesleyan’s<br />
values, and our athletic staff is<br />
committed to helping our teams<br />
excel.<br />
Much of our success wouldn’t be<br />
possible without the contributions<br />
of the <strong>DWU</strong> TeamMakers booster<br />
club and the <strong>DWU</strong> athletic<br />
corporate sponsors. These<br />
partnerships allow our coaches to<br />
recruit the best possible studentathletes.<br />
Both groups are<br />
extremely dedicated to helping<br />
provide a positive experience for<br />
our student-athletes. I’d like to offer<br />
a special thank you to the<br />
TeamMakers and corporate<br />
sponsors for your roles in Tiger<br />
athletics.<br />
Whatever your connection to <strong>DWU</strong>,<br />
we’d like to invite you to be a part of<br />
the Tiger athletic family as we<br />
continue our journey to reach new<br />
levels in both the NAIA and the<br />
Great Plains Athletic Conference.<br />
Welcome aboard, thanks for your<br />
support and go Tigers!<br />
