Today kicks off one of the most exciting weeks of the year for Salve Athletics: Division III Week! The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee as well as Salve Athletics invites everyone on campus to get involved in any of the numerous events happening both on and off the field from contests to fundraisers with prizes, food, and fun.
According to the Commonwealth Coast Conference website, Division III Week is “a positive opportunity for all individuals associated with Division III to observe and celebrate the impact of athletics and of student-athletes on the campus and surrounding community. During the week, every Division III school and conference office is encouraged to conduct a type of outreach activity that falls into one of three categories: academic accomplishment; athletic experience; or leadership/community service/campus involvement.”
