V Club Mission Statement The V Club is engaged in providing the financial resources to the Vil- lanova Athletics Department in order to maximize the suc- cess of the student-athlete both in the classroom and on the playing field.
Origin of V Club Name Since the earliest of days of Villanova Athletics, the “V” has been the defining symbol of the school’s commitment to Basketball alums Bernie Schaffer, Clarence Smith and Joe Turk athletic excellence. Our teams still proudly display the V posed with Jay Wright prior to the Villanova Basketball Golf Outing. logo on their uniforms, thus distinguishing them from the competition. The name of the V Club was carefully chosen to reinforce the “V” connection which binds both past and present student-athletes and all supporters of Wildcat Ath- letics. Just a glimpse of the “V” brings immediate recogni- tion of Villanova University Athletics. Wildcat student- athletes compete nationwide with the image of the “V” displayed proudly on their uniforms; this badge links them to those alumni who donned the “V” in past competition. The “V” will serve as the enduring symbol forever linking student-athletes to Villanova Athletics.
As the beloved fight song so clearly states, “V” is for Villanova! Purpose of the V Club Providing Athletes With Support The V Club acknowledges the contributions made by Vil- lanova student-athletes over the last 130 years.

The entire university community is proud of the fact that all the student-athletes who stay at our University for their entire careers graduate with as fine a degree as any in the country. The Office of Academic Support works in conjunction with the many offices of academic support on campus available to all students.
