"Being The Best That We Can Be"

It takes a special kind of person to be a Eureka student-athlete.  All of our players live up to both parts of the name "scholar-athlete," and that means that challenges on the playing field come in addition to those in the classroom.  It's not an 'either-or."  It's a 'both-and."

Count on Eureka College to develop strengths and skills, across the board.  In fact, our Athletic Department considers its mission to be very broad, helping students grow academically, athletically and personally, as well as in the areas of community service, leadership, and career development.

The intercollegiate athletic program will function as an integral part of Eureka College and the community while providing the opportunity for maximum participation in a comprehensive NCAA Division III athletic program. Special attention will be given to the student-athlete's ability to be successful academically, athletically, and socially, while maintaining the integrity of Eureka College.

Furthermore, Eureka College athletics and coaches will support the overall mission of the college by being active educational practitioners and promoting lifetime wellness among student-athletes. This program will focus on the student-athlete as a whole person, helping him/her reach his/her maximum potential both on and off the field. The athletic department will provide these individuals the resources needed to realize their full potential in six areas of development.
