Athletics Mission Statement

Nova Southeastern University recognizes, values, and supports intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the educational mission of the University. Central to the program's mandate and in accord with the stated goals of the University, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics commits itself to fostering leadership, lifelong learning, and service to the community among its student-athletes.

The Department is dedicated to sponsoring a competitive program of intercollegiate athletics for men and women. Valuing deeply the physical, social, and emotional welfare of those who participate, the Department and the University express this commitment through membership in the NCAA and the Sunshine State Conference, both of which exemplify the principles of amateur athletics. These latter include diversity, sportsmanship, fair play, and equitable opportunity for all. Athletic department staff will manifest these values in clearly discernible conduct.

The Intercollegiate Athletics program at Nova Southeastern University is committed to the recruitment, preparation, and welfare of highly qualified and gifted men and women.
