Senior captain Chinedu Onyekwu m VA M «. Statement Of Athletics Philosophy Through the sponsorship of 21 intercollegiate sports and comprehensive intramural and dub sports programs, the athletics department snares with other programs on campus the responsibility to contribute positively to the development of each student. We believe that through sports, stu­ dents develop enduring values - in particular, the importance of striving toward excellence, dedicating effort to team goals, and testing onself. As is stated in the Knight Commission Intercollegiate Athletics Report of March 1991, we value the education students gain through their experi­ ences in sports. "Games and sports are educational in the best sense of that word because AJ&'^ they teach the participant and the observer new truths about testing one­ self and others, about the enduring values of challenge and response, aboul teamwork, discipline and perservcrance. Above all, intercollegiate contests drive home a fundamenatal lesson. Goals worth achieving will be attained only through effort, hard work and sacrifice, and sometimes even these will not be enough to overcome the obstacles life places in our paths."
