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 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Combining the tradition of be- only 21 percent of its applicants for the freshman class of 2011 ing the oldest Catholic institution were accepted. of higher learning in the United In the classroom, the University offers state-of-the-art facilities, States with an awareness of while holding less than an 8-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio.

UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT Georgetown is a Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered research university. 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 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY 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.
