You may have seen the recent release of our new strategic vision, Elevate Upstate, and I am absolutely energized about where we are and where we’re headed. This plan reflects who we are as a department, grounded in service, accessibility, excellence, collaboration, and integrity ... and where we’re going as part of the University’s Greater 2030 initiative.
Over the next five years, we’re focused on strengthening every aspect of the student-athlete experience: from championship-caliber facilities and enhanced academic support to deeper community engagement and sustainable growth. We’ve built incredible momentum across our programs, both in the classroom and in competition, and Elevate Upstate will serve as our roadmap to keep that momentum going—pushing us to be leaders in the Big South and a model for what’s possible at the Division I level.
