The Community Programs Center, the University's center for service learning and volunteering, is designed to foster volunteer service among individual students as well as collaborative efforts between the University and the community. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to use the CPC as a resource for locating interesting and diverse volunteer opportunities, service project funding sources, or information on service learning programs. The Center promotes volunteerism and civic engagement, as they are an integral part of higher education. Student volunteers also may elect to have service hours documented on their transcripts.
The University supports intercollegiate athletic competition in 21 varsity sports involving more than 450 athletes. Proud of the tradition of competitive success of its athletic teams, the institution particularly values its commitment to equity, diversity, and integrity among its sports teams and staff. The personal and academic welfare of individual athletes is of utmost importance. In addition to the numerous forms of support and assistance within each sports program, the department maintains a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee as a general means of promoting communication among student-athletes and athletics-related administration. The student-athlete representatives selected from each sport by their peers are assisted by faculty and athletics administrators acting in an advisory capacity. Further information regarding sponsored sports and the intercollegiate athletics program may be obtained from the Athletic Office.
