CORE VALUES

A CULTURE BY DESIGN

Over the course of several months, all members of the Augusta athletics staff worked to develop the Department's core values, which consist of six main principles. These values are Trust, Integrity, Professionalism, Excellence, and Purposeful.

The Core Values of Augusta University Athletics define who we are and how we operate. They are the support system that holds the department together and sustains our success. These values work together, combining to drive our unending work to create transformational change – for our student-athletes, for our athletics community, and for the supporters of Jaguar athletics.

STUDENT-ATHLETE PLEDGE

Augusta University Athletics created the Student-Athlete Pledge in an ongoing effort to promote transparency in terms of what student-athletes should expect when they become part of Jaguar Nation. The student-athlete pledge was developed through a collaborative effort of all members of the Augusta Athletics department and the document details exactly what student-athletes should expect from the three key areas of coaches, administration and support staff.
