5. Mission Statement
The Thelma Evans College Department of Athletics strives, first and foremost, to
create a program that encourages physical well being and fair athletic competition. Because
the health and well being of our students is a top priority, we make it our mission to offer
programs that cater to the needs and wants of all students. All students should have the
opportunity to participate in some type of athletic activity. Each season we look to further
improve the abilities of our athletes in order to continue the progress and success of our
programs. Our goal is to develop our sports teams to the point where they can compete with
other collegiate sports teams.
The Department of Athletics also aims to supplement students’ education in a
nonacademic manor. We strongly believe that the personal and social skills learned through
our programs are just as significant as the athletic skills that are learned. Students not only
will foster better athletic ability but also will learn self
discipline, respect, sportsmanship, leadership, perseverance, and the importance of team.
Furthermore, the Department of Athletics aspires to create a sense of community
throughout the campus and among students and faculty. Athletics gets students involved in
campus activities, gives students a common ground to bond over, and provides athletes and
non athletes alike an opportunity to show school pride. Above all, the objective of the
departments is to tie all groups of students together to create a dynamic environment.
