The mission of the Athletic Department parallels the mission of Mount Mary College. Just as the College seeks to provide an environment to develop the whole person, intercollegiate athletics, while focusing on the development of active women, seeks to provide an environment for learning and healthy living. Intercollegiate athletics encourages leadership, risk taking, critical thinking, and teamwork. Athletics provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with teammates while competing against opponents. Student-athlete welfare plays a primary role in decision and the direction of intercollegiate athletics at Mount Mary College. Teaching life skills, good decision making opportunities, recognizing and respecting individual differences and celebrating diversity are key components in the student-athletes’ experience. While participating in intercollegiate athletics we expect students make a commitment to their teammates for the success of the team. Success is not measured by wins and losses, but by growth and maturity through group experiences and competition. Mount Mary College Athletics are based on the principals of fair play and sportsmanship.
