- Promulgating high academic standards as well as providing a broadly based academic experience;
- Sharing the vision with others that our fundamental philosophy of studying, working, and participating is composed of many elements and touches many people throughout the lives of the student-athletes;
- Encouraging the student-athletes to make commitments to serve as involved members of our concerned and active community;
- Fostering the ideal that student-athletes and the Athletic Department staff act with respect and brotherhood to all; and
