TWGA
Vision: Athletics
plays an important role in the educational mission of Willamette
University because we embrace the liberal arts ideal to educate
the mind and body. Willamette athletics includes competitive
and well-equipped intercollegiate athletic teams; broad intramural
programs; a wide array of recreational activities; and inviting
physical fitness and wellness facilities. Each of these components
is integral to supporting the athletic program to which we
aspire for our students. Willamette will strive for excellence
in all athletic endeavors, mirroring our commitment to academic
excellence and student achievement.

of athletic programs
Analyze risk and recommend steps to reduce
