The primary purpose of NCAA Division III Athletics at Husson University is to provide broad-based athletic opportunities with equal emphasis given to all intercollegiate sports. Conducted as part of the student-athletes' educational experience, athletics encourages academic and athletic performance, gender equity, appreciation for diversity and social responsibility. A successful athletic department contributes immeasurably to the growth and student life of the university. Sportsmanship and building respect for others in athletics can lead to better human relations, global awareness and leadership skills.
