BASKETBALL
ULM Athletics Mission Statement ULM athletics is inextricably tied to the educational aspirations and academic progress of ULM, to the aspirations of its faculty and staff, and to the needs and general welfare of its student body, including its student athletes, as we share a common vision with a focus on the complete student-centered educational experience along with a common set of values. In all of its activities, the Department will conduct itself in compliance with the NCAA, Sun Belt Conference and University rules and insist on integrity, ethical conduct and accountability, and we believe that institutional control of athletics is both necessary and appropriate to assure compliance with rules and regulations. The purpose of ULM Athletics is to further the University’s mission by broadening the variety of educational experiences available to students; enlivening, and enriching the life of our academic community; fostering enthusiasm, pride, ownership and loyalty among students, alumni and community; and, serving as a constant public presence for the university’s image. We will do this by offering nationally competitive Division I intercollegiate athletic programs, including Division IA football, that reflect the interest of our students and faculty, the Sun Belt Conference, our alumni and our community of supporters. Athletics is a proper part of the educational mission of the University and, inherently, provides student-athletes with the opportunity to obtain a quality well-rounded education while pursuing their dreams of competing in their chosen sport. We will provide a caring environment for living and learning characterized by close relationships, a family atmosphere, physical and emotional well-being, appreciation of diversity, affirmation of equal opportunity and academic freedom, and respect for the dignity and worth of each individual. We are dedicated to maximizing the educational and competitive impact of our available resources including human, community, facility and financial. ULM’s intercollegiate athletics program is fully committed to complying with the principle of gender equity as articulated in Title IX. We will promote excellence in academics, competition, ethical behavior, sportsmanship and integrity. We will provide opportunities and support for our student-athletes to achieve this excellence. We recognize that the University’s obligation to the State of Louisiana and to the parents everywhere who send us their sons and daughters is to provide a quality and complete educational experience that leads to the graduation of our students prepared for recognized achievement, success in their chosen fields and meaningful lives and careers. We are committed to the proposition that academic achievement is not and should not be a gift. Rather, it is a challenge that must be met by the individual students, as well as the University. Accordingly, all of our efforts are guided by certain values we believe essential to the fulfillment of this mission.
Correct Name Usage
Please note that there are only two correct versions of our name, the acronym ULM (preferred) or the full University of Louisiana at Monroe. Any other reference is not the name of the institution and is simply incorrect. Using Louisiana-Monroe, La.-Monroe, LAM, UL-Monroe or just Monroe is incorrect.
