Greetings Royals Family & Friends,

We are proud to announce the creation of the Scranton Athletics Fund, an annual campaign to support and promote athletics at The University of Scranton. The goal of the Scranton Athletics Fund is to provide our students, coaches and teams with a truly transformative experience that is reflective of our Catholic & Jesuit mission as a university. Each year, nearly 400 students participate in intercollegiate athletics at Scranton, proudly representing our community in the spirit of St. Ignatius Loyola. These students are shining examples of the Magis,a restless pursuit of excellence grounded in gratitude, in their academic, social and athletic endeavors. Your gift to the Scranton Athletics Fund will enhance the student-athlete experience at Scranton by providing state-of-the-art training equipment, exciting travel opportunities, additional recruiting resources and more. Please join in our efforts to provide our student-athletes with a truly transformative experience by making a gift to the Scranton Athletics Fund today. Go Royals! Sincerely,

Department of AthleticsMISSION Statement

The Department of Athletics, guided by

the principles of a Jesuit education, is

committed to providing an environment in

which intercollegiate athletic activities are

conducted as an integral part of a student-

athlete’s educational experience. Specifically,

through participation in Division III athletics,

our student-athletes pursue academic

excellence; refine athletic skills; demonstrate

leadership; engage in good sportsmanship;

and serve others.

Student-athletes at The University of Scranton ARE MORE than just athletes. They are scholars who embody our Jesuit ideals, going beyond the norm to become transformational leaders in all pursuits. They are supported by coaches and teammates who ARE MORE than allies; they are family.

The Scranton Athletics Fund has been created to provide financial support to the students, coaches and teams that transform our Jesuit ideals into reality. Your gift to the Scranton Athletics Fund can be designated to the area of greatest need or to your favorite team.

Help us DO MORE for our studentsby supporting the Scranton Athletics Fund today.

I don’t consider the baseball team as teammates, or even as friends. Those guys are my brothers. Somewhere along the way, we became a family.

and importance of teamwork. As a doctor today, I rely on these values, and my medical team, to support my patients every day.
