The Edinboro
University Student-Athlete -- A Proud Tradition
 |
|
McComb Fieldhouse is home
to the athletic department's administrative staff and their
offices. It also houses a gymnasium where intercollegiate
contests are held. |
The philosophy of athletics at Edinboro
University is considered an integral part of the institutional
program of education that provides experiences that will assist in
the development of the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of
the student-athlete. As an institution of higher learning, we are
committed to the development of the entire individual.
Student-athletes are stimulated to excel, but
the principles of good sportsmanship prevail at all times to
enhance the educational value of the athletic contest. We believe
that participation is a privilege that carries with it
responsibilities to the University, the community, the team, and
to the student- athletes themselves. These experiences also
contribute to the knowledge, skill, and emotional pattern that our
student-athletes posses; thereby making them better citizens.
Student-athletes will strive to be involved as upstanding members
of the Edinboro community and learn as much as possible from the
overall educational experience. This includes establishing and
maintaining strong relationships with faculty members, and fellow
student-athletes as well as the student body at large.
Athletes understand that earning a degree is
the primary goal of the student; that meeting all academic
responsibilities, including regular class attendance and the
completion of all assignments in a timely manner is mandatory. The
Edinboro University student-athlete will also understand that the
assumption of personal responsibility is at the heart of the
educational experience. All athletes should constantly be aware
that they represent the University, the Athletic Department, and
their team as well as themselves. Upper-class student-athletes
should consciously strive to serve as role models for new
student-athletes.
The University promotes an environment in which
fair and equitable distribution of overall athletic opportunities,
benefits, and resources are available to men and women an on in
which student-athletes, coaches, and athletic administrators are
not subjected to gender based discrimination. No individual shall
be discriminated against on the basis of gender or race in
intercollegiate athletics at Edinboro University. |
