Philosophy Statement
The
primary educational mission of Morehouse College is to develop
men with disciplined minds who will lead lives of leadership,
service and self-realization. The College achieves this mission
through a student development model that emphasizes both curricular
and extra-curricular programs as vehicles for teaching, learning
and participation.
The
Athletics Program at Morehouse College is an extra-curricular
activity that supplements the academic program and supports
the institution’s educational mission by providing opportunities
for students to participate in intercollegiate sports activities
that help them grow personally and socially. In particular,
the Athletics Program enhances general life knowledge, skills
and abilities, including physical fitness, self-confidence,
leadership and teamwork.
The
focus of the Athletics Program is the development of students-
both those who participate directly in intercollegiate sports
and those who, as spectators and fans, benefit from the camaraderie
and community spirit that is created by a vibrant and competitive
sports program on an all-male campus. As an integral part of
the overall educational mission, the Athletics Program reflects
the values of excellence and achievement to which all of the
College’s endeavors’ aspire.
To
this end, the Athletics Program measures its success by the
extent to which its student-athletes develop as well-rounded
men of intellect and character.
