As is the primary mission of the college in general, the Department of Athletics strives to serve students as part of the student's general education and equip the student for success in higher education, employment and citizenship skills. This department also recognizes a commitment to the student's success in overall well-being. Our department also recognizes our accountability and professional commitment toward this important responsibility.
