Mission and Vision Statement of the Russell Sage College Department of Athletics
Our Mission
Russell Sage College Athletics champions the student-athlete experience as a model of empowerment grounded in a students-first approach.
We are dedicated to developing leaders who thrive in the classroom, in competition, and in life — preparing every Gator to succeed not only during their time at Sage, but well beyond graduation.
Through purposeful coaching, holistic support, and a foundation built on equity, wellness, and leadership, RSC Athletics cultivates an environment where student-athletes are empowered to strive, succeed, and lead in every arena of their lives.
Our Vision: The 3-2-1 Gator Way
The 3-2-1 Gator Way is the heartbeat of Sage Athletics — simple to remember, powerful enough to guide everything we do.
Three Roles:
-
Excel as a student — pursue academic success and growth.
-
Compete as an athlete — chase excellence and championship opportunities.
-
Give back as a community member — make a lasting impact on campus and beyond.
Two Core Values:
-
Compete with grit.
-
Lead with gratitude.
One Mentality:
-
One Team — united in purpose, pride, and accountability.
When grit drives our actions and gratitude shapes our mindset, we build a culture that pursues big goals, values the process, and holds one another to the highest standards. Together, we represent what it means to be a Gator — resilient, purposeful, and proud.
