Toby Lovecchio
Director of Athletics |
Dear
Student-Athlete:
As an
alumnus and former student-athlete of the University of Scranton, I reaped the
benefits of a first-class academic environment plus the thrill of
intercollegiate sports competition. As the University's Director of Athletics
since 1997, I am proud to offer you the same tremendous opportunity.
Intercollegiate
athletics are an integral part of this University's educational mission. Our
program will help you to grow intellectually, emotionally and socially. You
will leam the art of teamwork - a critical skill for any future endeavor. You
will travel, and you will have the honor of representing your University in a
distinct way.
We have 19
varsity teams that compete over the course of a three-season (fall, winter,
spring) academic calendar year. All incoming students are welcome to try out
for any of the teams. In addition, the University offers a full complement of
intramural, club sports and wellness activities, as well as expanded fitness
facilities. These programs are available to all students.
Our
student-athletes have a legacy of outstanding academic and athletic success.
The many championships and individual honors are certainly impressive, but we
derive even more satisfaction from our standing as a national leader in
producing Academic All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners.
Our
standards are high and the competition is challenging - the rewards and sense
of achievement are even greater, and they will endure for the rest of your
life.
If you
have not yet toured our facilities and met our coaches, faculty and program
directors, I invite you to visit us soon. Please call us if you have any
questions.
I look
forward to supporting the next generation of student-athletes as they carry on
the rich tradition of Scranton athletics.
Sincerely,
Toby
Lovecchio
Director of Athletics
