Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State Athletics’ vision is to be a nationally recognized, comprehensive athletics program that inspires communities and transforms lives. The landscape of Division I intercollegiate athletics is changing constantly, and the need for resources is at an all-time high. Philanthropy is integral to our innovative mindset in resource management, with a focus on sustainability and sound financial stewardship. In order for Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State to become the nationally distinct university described in our strategic plan, it is imperative that we have the resources to focus on our mission to graduate student-athletes who are boldly prepared for life after sport, and win championships. Our goal is to increase our number of athletics endowments by 20 percent.
