7. Rowan Universitys Sport Club Program is dedicated to enriching the educational experience by providing safe opportunities to students for engagement in a variety of physical, sport activities across a broad range of skill levels and experiences. This includes activities that are competitive, semi-competitive, and recreational in nature. Further, the Rowan University Sport Club Program is a training ground for leadership, organizational development, and teaching. Ultimately, the mission is realized through a program that provides diverse sport activities while also affording the students opportunities to develop skills that will assist them beyond their years spent at Rowan. MISSION STATEMENT

8. Student organizations fulfill a very important role at Rowan University. These organizations provide a medium for students to enhance the lessons learned in the classroom through real life experiences and responsibilities. The sport club program exists not only to provide students with extracurricular competition in sport and the ensuing benefits that sport competition brings, but also to develop skills that will assist students beyond their years spent at the University. While the Assistant Director and other Sport Club staff members assist clubs with administrative needs and policy, the emphasis is on student leadership development and principles of self- governance. Sport clubs are student-run, and within each club the students are directly responsible for all aspects of managing and operating a successful competitive organization. As a result, sport clubs present a unique opportunity for students to develop both their athletic and leadership abilities. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
