Mission & Goals Statement of the Department of Athletics Title IX and NCAA Peer Review The Georgetown University Department of Athletics, as part of a university with roots in the Jesuit The Georgetown University Athletics Department has undergone two extensive reviews of its tradition of education, commits itself to the comprehensive development of the student. The athletic programs: an audit by the Department of Education concerning Title IX of the Education interdependence of the physical, emotional, moral and intellectual aspects of personal growth Amendments of 1972, and Georgetown’s inaugural review under the NCAA’s new Athletics requires simultaneous and balanced focus. This objective does not imply that each facet of an Certification program. The Department of Education has found Georgetown’s athletic programs individual’s psychological, social and academic growth is of equal importance. It does require to be in compliance with Title IX, and the University was certified by the NCAA in November of that Georgetown provide the means and encouragement for each person to develop according 1995 and again in 2001. to his or her own interests and abilities. This is especially true in athletics, whether at the recreational, intercollegiate, intramural or instructional level. In addition to physical development, Anti-Discrimination Policy the Department of Athletics promotes principles of character, development and sportsmanship In accordance with the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the within the framework of an abiding and broadened commitment to community. Accordingly, Education Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the the Athletics Department is committed to, fosters and pursues the fair and equitable treatment implementing regulations promulgated under each of these federal statutes, Georgetown of both men and women, and the provision of equitable access and opportunities for minority University does not discriminate in its programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis students and institutional personnel. of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. The University’s compliance program under these statutes and regulations is supervised by Rosemary Kilkenny, Special Assistant to the NCAA Position on Gambling President of Affirmative Action Programs. Her office is located in Room G-10, Darnall Hall, and The NCAA opposes all forms of legal and illegal sports wagering. Sports wagering has the her telephone number is (202) 687-4798. potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the welfare of student- athletes and the intercollegiate community. Sports wagering demeans the competition and competitors alike by a message that is contrary to the purposes and meaning of “sport.” Sports competition should be appreciated for the inherent benefits related to participation of student- athletes, coaches and institutions in fair contests, not the amount of money wagered on the outcome of the competition. For these reasons, the NCAA membership has adopted specific rules prohibiting athletics department staff members and student-athletes from engaging in gambling activities as they relate to intercollegiate or professional intercollegiate or professional sporting events. 2009 GEORGETOWN WOMEN’S SOCCER 1 WELCOME TO GEORGETOWN Combining the tradition of be- body, one of the most geographically diverse in the country, consists ing the oldest Catholic institution of individuals from all 50 states and 132 foreign countries, while of higher learning in the United only 21 percent of its applicants for the freshman class of 2011 States with an awareness of were accepted. ever-changing educational needs, In the classroom, the University offers state-of-the-art facilities, Georgetown University continues while holding less than an 8-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio.

Established in 1789 in the spirit of the new republic, the University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical and spiritual understanding. We embody this principle in the diversity of our students, faculty and staff, our commitment to justice and the common good, our intellectual openness and our international character. An academic community dedicated to creating and communicating knowledge, Georgetown provides excellent undergraduate, graduate and professional education in the Jesuit tradition for the glory of God and the well- being of humankind. Georgetown educates women and men to be reflective lifelong learners, to be responsible and active participants in civic life, and to live generously in service to others. 2 2009 GEORGETOWN WOMEN’S SOCCER WELCOME TO GEORGETOWN ATHLETICS AT GEORGETOWN HISTORY Georgetown University’s varsity athletics programs For more than 215 years, Georgetown University has are a major component of the undergraduate experience. overlooked the banks of the Potomac River.
