ALBANY - The Russell Sage College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee announced events surrounding NCAA Division III Week.
Division III Week is a positive opportunity for all individuals associated with a Division III institution to observe and celebrate the impact athletics and student-athletes have on campus and in the surrounding community. During the week, every Division III school and conference office is encouraged to conduct an outreach activity that falls into one of three categories: academic accomplishment, athletic experience, or leadership/community service/campus involvement. Division III Week is a strategic initiative that achieves its desired impact from a unity of effort. It harnesses everyone working toward the same goal at the same time to build a greater awareness and understanding of Division III athletics.
The 2025 celebration begins Monday, April 7, and runs through Sunday, April 13.
RSC Athletics will get the week's activities started early on Sunday, April 6 at the home softball and baseball games..

Our annual Yards for Yeardley Walk will be held on both the Albany and Troy campuses on Thursday, April 10 at 9:00 AM. In collaboration with the Russell Sage College Office of Title IX and the One Love Foundation, we will be raising awareness for relationship health education by tracking yards walked, ran, cycled, etc. Find the tables on both campuses (KCC and Buchman) to learn more and track your yards.
