Athletic Philosophy
2007-2008
Monmouth College considers the
intercollegiate athletic program to be an integral part of the total
educational experience. Subscribing to a "sound mind in a sound body
concept," the college recognizes the significant contribution of
recreation, intramural and intercollegiate athletics to the development of
male and female students. From a relaxed recreational program to the very
rigorous intercollegiate program, Monmouth students can experience a wide
range of athletic opportunities.
The College is committed to providing
equal opportunities for all its students. It is the goal of the college to
provide experiences that will allow men and women to achieve their maximum
potential in both academic and athletic endeavors.
The health and welfare of our students is
paramount. Athletic opportunities are provided in a context that fosters
character development, safe participation, value enhancement and academic
achievement. The education and development of the whole person is our
fundamental commitment.
The college firmly adheres to the spirit
and intent of the rules and regulations of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference. The
College, while integrating the mandates established by both organizations,
retains institutional control. All policies, rules, and regulations are
reviewed regularly by responsible faculty and administrative personnel.
