Colorado College Athletics Mission Statement
Participation in athletics is integral to a well-balanced liberal arts education. To that end Colorado College is committed to supporting a vibrant athletics program consisting of varsity, club, and intramural sports in which the pursuit of excellence in a safe, supportive, ethical, and sportsmanlike manner is an important component of competition. Athletic success and academic success are not mutually exclusive; rather the two, when balanced properly, augment each other.
In addition the Department of Athletics supports opportunities in casual recreation and fitness, and partners with the Outdoor Education Department to provide a foundation for faculty, staff, and students to pursue health, wellness, and positive social interaction through physical activity.
