CALLING ALL VIKINGS

If you played intercollegiate sports during your college career, coached or worked with NAIA athletes, the NAIA is looking for you. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics is searching for alumni of the assocation, and you can sign up on their web site at www.naia.org. In addition to accessing sports information on the site, NAIA alums can receive the most up-to-date information on NAIA championships, review NAIA history and preview current NAIA initiatives.

The NAIA is piloting a program placing emphasis on character and reclaiming the true spirit of the game. The initiative, called Champions of Character, is grounded in five core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship. Through its tradition of using sports informally as a vehicle of character development, the NAIA supports awareness, education and community involvement to promote character and integrity in sport at every level.
