In 2004, the Development of Athletics implemented a new strategic plan. Accompanying that were new vision and mission statements and a set of core values.

 

Vision Statement

Fresno State Athletics: Providing competitive opportunities for today's student-athletes to become tomorrow's leaders.

 

Mission Statement

Fresno State Athletics is committed to developing champions for life by inspiring academic and athletic excellence in an environment that promotes diversity, equity and integrity while providing opportunities for today's student-athletes to become tomorrow's leaders.

 

Core Values

Pride · Success · Integrity · Commitment

The Strategic Plan focuses on providing an academically and athletically successful collegiate experience for student-athletes in all sports, and will be used as an evaluation tool to gauge the success of staff and operations areas based on their accomplishments toward these prescribed goals and objectives.

Since competition is the trademark of intercollegiate athletics, the Department of Athletics is committed to achieving the full potential of each team and each athlete while maintaining compliance with the rules and regulations set forth by the Western Athletic Conference, the National Collegiate Athletic Association for Division IA membership, and the rules and procedures established by California State University, Fresno. Dedication to athletic and academic excellence will be reflected in the performance of all university teams.

As the major public university in the San Joaquin Valley, the department strives to develop strong local, regional, and national recognition for its team and foster a sense of community among its constituencies, i.e., the student body, the faculty and staff, the alumni, and the general public. This recognition will be achieved not only through outstanding athletic performance, but also through the civility with which we conduct ourselves both on and off the playing field.

Student-Athlete Services

The Student-Athlete Services Office provides tutoring, academic advising, individual consultations, and NCAA eligibility monitoring for student-athletes on a year-round basis. It works with the NCAA in providing a CHAMPS/LifeSkills program that emphasizes personal, career, community service and athletic development, and it advises the Student-Athlete Advisory Council. The council, with representatives from every sport, serves as a communication link between student athletes, the Athletics Department administration, and the campus community on matters of student-athlete welfare.
