NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Albertus Magnus College will celebrate NCAA Division III Week, which begins Monday, April 5th and continues until Sunday, April 11th. This week is an opportunity for the 450 member schools of NCAA DIII to recognize and promote the achievements of student-athletes on and off the field. Albertus Magnus is joining in the nationwide celebration by highlighting the academic, athletic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular achievements of our own student-athletes.
WHAT IS D3 WEEK WEEK?
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.
HOW DID D3 WEEK COME TO BE?
The event is part of Division III's Identity Initiative, which was introduced in 2010 to sharpen the division's identity and to enable schools and conferences to more effectively explain why they prefer to compete in Division III. The initiative has been guided by a strategic-positioning platform, describing Division III as a place where student-athletes can "follow your passions and develop your potential," within an approach that combines rigorous academics, competitive sports, and an opportunity to pursue other interests.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Here is the full schedule for the rest of D3 Week:
- Tuesday, April 6 - "Teammate Tuesday" | "Takeover Tuesday"
- Wednesday, April 7 - "Why D3"
- Thursday, April 8 - "Thank You!"
