Athletics Advisory Committee -
Athletics Mission Statement
The mission of the Intercollegiate Athletics Program at the University of New Hampshire is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participation in programs that are competitive at the Division I level, both regionally and nationally.
The intercollegiate athletics program also plays an important role by enhancing the quality of life for the University and statewide community by being a source of pride and identification with the University, while always maintaining high standards of academic scholarship and integrity.
To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must:
- Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete.
- Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams within league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition.
- Provide equitable opportunities for all intercollegiate athletics by the active recruitment of minority athletes, and provide equitable opportunities for all women student-athletes commensurate with that of their male counterparts.
- Provide excellent facilities for all athletes to train, practice and play.
- Conduct all operations within state and federal law, University policies, rules of the NCAA, and athletics conferences in which the University competes.
