The success of Dickinson’s program emanates from careful institutional control and recognition that athletics is only one part of the educational experience of the student. The coaching staff strives to maintain a balance between athletic and academic achievement while establishing a positive competitive environment providing the opportunity for student athletes to grow intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally. Dickinson’s 23 intercollegiate athletic programs (12 women’s and 11 men’s) participate in the prestigious Centennial Conference (CC) and are operated under the auspices of NCAA Division III guidelines. Dickinson’s athletics program is committed to the principles and practices of personal integrity, gender equity, sportsmanship and fair play, cultural diversity and the fulfillment of each individual’s potential. Primary emphasis is given to regular season competition, but exceptional teams and individuals are encouraged to participate in post-season play, both regionally and nationally. Student athletes are provided with fine facilities, superior coaching and an atmosphere that values the pursuit of excellence.
