For students who want to continue playing the sport they love at the collegiate level and an academically challenging college experience – Division III athletics is the place to be. 事实上, it could be 说 that DIII athletics is the most sensible approach to athletics and academics.
Approximately 30% of Susquehanna’s student population is a member of one of SU’s 23 NCAA Division III intercollegiate sports 团队s. Division III offers an intense and competitive athletics environment for student-athletes who play for the love of the game, without the obligation of an athletics scholarship, 说 大卫的厨房 ’14, head strength and conditioning coach who also played 足球 for the River Hawks from 2010-2012.
“After having the opportunity to coach at all three levels of collegiate athletics, I continue to be impressed by the opportunities DIII offers for student-athletes to be involved in activities far beyond athletics,基钦说。. “We have student-athletes who participate in orchestra, student government, committees, etc. They then bring these experiences to the athletic community, and everyone benefits. It’s the best of both worlds.”
“DIII is really a holistic approach to the overall student experience. Our student-athletes can compete at a high level, while excelling in the classroom and being well-rounded citizens of the campus and surrounding community,福代斯说. “You can create your own experience as a DIII student-athlete and the opportunities for who you can be are endless.”
Kitchen also noted another unique aspect of Susquehanna’s DIII status — community.
“Our student-athletes know each other outside of sports due to the campus size, which creates a more closely-knit athletics department,他说. “Our 团队s all support each other and are genuinely invested in each other’s success.”
