Mission

Mission

The purpose of Athletics at Walla Walla University is to promote a life-changing experience in a Christian context. The varsity program is committed to excellence in sport, fair competition, commitment to God, and sharing of faith.

As a Seventh-day Adventist comprehensive institution, Walla Walla University provides education with a Christian purpose, as outlined in our objectives. Intercollegiate athletics are an integral and visible part of that education and commitment to spiritual life.

Athletics Program Goals

Spiritual:

  1. To encourage students involved in the program to grow in their Christian experience and develop a willingness to share that relationship with others.
  2. To provide the opportunity to be an active witness on the Walla Walla University campus and to the community around us.

 Academic:

  1. The academic program must come first for any athlete on a WWU team.
  2.  All participants in athletics will be full- time students in good standing at Walla Walla University and will maintain a minimum 12-hour course load throughout the term(s) in which they participate.  Each student-athlete must also meet NAIA standards for academic progress.  Participating athletes must not be on "Academic Probation" as determined by WWU Academic Administration.

Athletic:

  1. To help each student reach their highest athletic potential as individuals and as members of a team.
  2. To teach the values of sportsmanship, honesty, dependability, teamwork and selflessness.


Athletics Policies

Athletic policies must be understood and agreed to between the school and the student athlete. Participation in athletics is a privilege, not a right. The athlete must earn this privilege through dedication, desire, discipline and participation. Without the pursuit of these, the athlete can not do justice to him/herself or the school.
