First attempt at this - I want to establish informal vehicle for communicating about Bates College Athletics.

As we head into the new school year, I am attempting to complete the year-long review that we did of all of the Athletics programs: intercollegiate sports (31 programs); club sports (12); intramurals; recreation; Physical Education. The purpose of the review was to determine whether each program is consistent with the Department of Athletics Mission Statement that was revised in Fy08. Each program did a self-assessment and our department's Administrative Team (A-Team) completed an assessment form for each program as well. Now it all has to be tabulated and summarized. Then we can appropriately kick off the new year of Bates athletics.
