On building a championship culture
One of the university’s key initiatives is to advance a championship culture that empowers student-athletes to achieve at the highest levels academically and athletically, building on an enduring legacy that has shaped generations of Loggers. The Arches team asked President lsiaah Crawford to share some insights into why this is such an important goal. Here’s what he had to say:
“Fostering a championship culture on campus remains a strategic priority for us, as a successful athletics program is a key driver of enrollment, retention, and campus and community engagement. It’s been exciting to witness this work in action during the fall athletics season, with our student-athletes standing out on the court (and field and pitch and pool) and in the community time and time again.
“In addition, we also see athletic endeavors as another form of experiential learning that helps prepare students for all that life has in store for them after graduation, and we are dedicated to providing these experiences. To that end, we are in the midst of upgrading our softball and baseball facilities, ensuring a top-tier playing and practice environment that will make Puget Sound a winning destination for years to come.”
