The administration, faculty and coaching staff at Rochester University desire for each student-athlete to achieve his or her full potential in every area of life. We are committed to providing opportunities for growth through practice, competition and personal relationships. Developing God’s given potential, accepting responsibility, and learning the value of being gracious in defeat and humble in victory, are dimensions of growth as athletes and as people. Members of the athletic program will strive to represent the institution in a positive manner, and act with courtesy and respect for all.
