Athletic Department Mission Statement

The Athletics Department at Emerson College strives first and foremost to enhance academic excellence and personal growth through athletic involvement. Our mission is to create an environment in which student-athletes develop skills for life while achieving competitive success.

Intercollegiate athletics at Emerson will provide men and women the chance to develop a diverse set of core values including teamwork, leadership, high ethical standards, sportsmanship, and self confidence, while stressing the importance of community service.

We are committed to providing coaches who regard themselves as educators, who will motivate each student-athlete to excel in these qualities. Student-Athletes are expected to reflect the excellence of Emerson College and contribute to the quality of life on campus.

Emerson College Athletics looks to provide a positive atmosphere where student-athletes are able to display qualities on and off the playing field that can be drawn upon beyond graduation.

Athletics at Emerson are an opportunity for students to bring out their best through competition. Student-athletes learn valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, and dedication that will positively affect their lives - both on and off the playing field.

The role of Athletics at the College is a significant one, however, the Emerson coaching staff knows the primary reason student-athletes attend Emerson is to obtain the finest education possible in the fields of communication and the performing arts. The Lions’ philosophy expects that student-athletes give 100% both in the classroom and on the playing fields. Maintaining this balance between academics and athletics is a challenge that teaches commitment and self-discipline.
