Intercollegiate Athletics Vision, Mission, and Goals

VISION

A nationally prominent athletic organization that is excellent in all respects and a member of the “25/75 Club.”

MISSION

Our collective aspirations will be to achieve national success – both athletically and academically – and by so doing engage and inspire all constituencies to support the broader University pursuit of preeminence.

To allow student-athletes to meet or exceed their expectations in every aspect of their experience at Purdue University and to provide the resources for coaches and staff to develop winning programs.

This will be accomplished in an environment that recognizes the value of diversity and adheres to the highest standards of integrity, work ethic and teamwork.

GOALS

Athletic

All sports will place in the upper half of the Big Ten and will be ranked in the top 25 nationally. When we are performing at these levels on a consistent basis, we will be competing for championships in the Big Ten and nationally.

Academic

Student-athletes will be at or above the all-campus grade point average. Graduation rates will be at or above the all-campus average.

Fiscal

Marketing, Promotion, and Development plans will be designed and implemented to generate a source of revenue. These monies, along with all other funds available to the department, will be allocated and managed to ensure that we have the resources for scholarships, quality academic support services and comprehensive, excellent facilities.

Equity

Provide quality participation opportunities that recognize and support gender and ethnic equity for all student-athletes in an atmosphere that fosters diversity in all constituencies.

Image

All actions, whether proactive or reactive, will create, maintain and project an image of excellence.
