Greetings V-Hawk Fans:
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Viterbo
University and to our athletic programs
and activities. Whether you are a player,
parent, alumni, booster or opponent, we
hope your experience with the university
is a positive one. We are proud to be members
of the NAIA and are fully committed to
its Champions of Character initiatives and core values of respect,
responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship.
We believe varsity athletics are fantastic opportunities for
development of lifelong skills that prepare our students for future
success as leaders and people of character and integrity. Our
Catholic and Franciscan heritage commits us to behave according
to Gospel values and to afford each other the dignity and respect
we deserve as children of God—yes, that means opponents and
game officials.
As a boy, adolescent and weekend athlete, I participated actively
in athletics and I appreciate the role of sport in our society and
its impact on our campuses and communities. I also am active in
the Council of Presidents of the NAIA which strives to maintain
athletics in its proper balance at an institution of higher learning.
Of course, our coaches and players want to win every contest and
we support their efforts enthusiastically, and Joan and I are loyal
V-Hawk fans.
Enjoy the contest—Go V-Hawks!
Richard B. Artman
