Our community shares the unifying understanding that “developing champions with integrity” is at the heart of our daily work.
How do we do this?
Through our core values:
Integrity:
Do the right thing
Accountability:
Responsibility for actions and commitments
Toughness:
Unyielding grit
Excellence:
A mindset and expectation of being outstanding
These values are the essence of our mission which summarizes why we do what we do:
As the state’s only Division I program, Maine Athletics is committed to developing high-character champions filled with pride and integrity who are dedicated to excellence in the classroom and in competition. We strive to unite our community by mirroring the state’s deep rooted commitment to perseverance, hard work and meaningful impact in all of our endeavors. By intentionally fostering a diverse, welcoming environment, Black Bear athletics is dedicated to equipping the next generation of leaders for success after sport.
While the mission is the north star of our daily work, the big-picture vision inspires us to continually show up for our bigger purpose:
To support our region and state by sustaining an authentic, student-athlete centered championship culture that consistently finishes as one of the top five Division I athletics programs in New England.
