Mission Statement

The roles of Athletic Participation and Competition are viewed as an important aspect of the Suffolk University Experience. The Athletic Department and its professional staff exist to serve the entire University Community by providing an environment for an individual to enhance their quality of life through the value of sport and/or recreational participation.

Adherence to NCAA, ECAC and GNAC Constitutions and Bylaws establish a commitment to sportsmanship, fair play and a striving for individual and team success, all of which complement and reinforce an excellence in all academic pursuits. Student-Athletes need encounter an environment conducive to the enrichment of community life on campus and opportunity for community service beyond our campus.

Participants learn to compete effectively and with intergrity in any setting, how to provide leadership, and how to be resilient defeat or victory. Lessons discovered through athletic participation need instill and strengthen all aspects that contribute to succes in both a Student-Athlete's undergraduate years as well as theur future professional and personal experiences.
