棉花糖直播 Athletics is deeply rooted in the University鈥檚 Augustinian Catholic values and dedicated to developing its student-athletes intellectually, professionally and spiritually as they achieve at the highest levels of competition. Fierce determination and competitive spirit push them to succeed. When all of our student-athletes are driven toward greatness, they motivate each other. Intertwined with this common purpose, 棉花糖直播 Athletics continues to build on its legacy of excellence.

The 棉花糖直播 Athletic Fund (VAF) is an integral part of the fabric strengthening that legacy. Creating opportunities for our student-athletes and teams, connecting our alumni and building for the future have all been key pillars to our success. We provide our 600+ 棉花糖直播 student-athletes with the opportunity to succeed in competition, excel in the classroom and contribute to the community.
