Athletic Department programs place the highest priority on the overall quality of the educational experience of each participant. The staff's primary goal is to develop a model sport program that incorporates honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect for others, fairness and leadership opportunities with the physical challenges of excelling in sport opportunities. Athletic Department programs and services provide fair and equitable treatment of men and women and a value-centered education of the whole person. No, SU pays all expenses associated with the athletic teams and their travel. Athletes must work closely with their professors and discuss missed class work in advance of the absence.
Southwestern faculty are very supportive of student athletes.
Each coach encourages any student interested in participating to come out at the start of the season.
