Your Support Matters
The Women’s Volleyball program’s goal is to be one of the top volleyball programs in the country while providing the best student-athlete experience both on and off the court. We work to create a positive and inclusive culture that focuses on developing the student as an athlete, a scholar and a member of the community. Our aim is that the athletes in our program will have a positive impact on their community, grow to be strong leaders and build the skills to succeed in whatever direction they pursue post-graduation. Your support will have a direct impact on their success as student-athletes and on the program.
The Department of Athletics covers most of our day-to-day operational expenses, but we rely on student-athlete fees and fundraising to meet the rest of our program’s needs. To minimize the financial burden on our student-athletes, Women’s Volleyball has set a goal to raise $12,000 annually to offset costs associated with enhancing our student-athlete experience year after year.

We have also have an incredible alumni network reaching across the country with Gryphons starting their own businesses, working in health care, I.T., education and many that continue to contribute to the volleyball community through coaching, officiating and as parents!
