Our program fosters a shared sense of pride among a diverse community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Intercollegiate athletics are integral to our commitment to the educational and ethical goals of the university and align with the overall mission of the institution. We strive to uphold and promote the moral and ethical values reflected in all university programs.

We are committed to providing a comprehensive program that emphasizes the positive values of physical activity, learned skills, dedication to excellence, and sportsmanship acquired through participation. We operate in full compliance with institutional, conference, and NCAA guidelines. Student-athletes, coaches, and staff are expected to compete with honesty, sportsmanship, and fair play within the guidelines of amateur athletics.

Wherever possible, the athletic department will provide opportunities to involve students in meaningful learning experiences related to their academic disciplines.
