The philosophy of intercollegiate athletics at Mississippi College
is inherent to, and compatible with, the mission statement of Mississippi
College. Particularly relevant to intercollegiate athletics at Mississippi
College is the part of the mission statement which reads: "The
mission of the College is to provide an opportunity for its students
to realize personal values, achieve social competence, and prepare
for a life of useful service. This mission is expressed as the College
provides courses, activities, and an environment which stimulate the
intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional and physical development

"Colleges and universities in Division III place highest priority
on the overall quality of the educational experience and on the successful
completion of all students' academic programs. They seek to establish
and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete's activities
are conducted as an integral part of the student-athlete's educational
experience. They also seek to establish and maintain an environment
that values cultural diversity and gender equity among their student-athletes
and athletics staff."

adhering to the letter and spirit of rules and regulations of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the American Southwest
