The mission of the Princeton Varsity Club is . . .
"To implement and support programs that perpetuate and enhance the Performance, Values and Community of Princeton Athletics and University"
The Princeton Varsity Club (PVC) recognizes the long tradition of athletic, academic and alumni success at Princeton University. It also recognizes that current varsity athletes, alumni letter winners and friends and supporters of Princeton Athletics represent a strong community built upon shared values and experiences. The PVC supports the notion that athletics are an integral part of the educational mission of the University and that Princeton Athletics should aspire to be a model for collegiate athletics both in the Ivy League and in the NCAA at large. The PVC also supports the ongoing role athletics and the student athlete play within the University community.
The focus of the Princeton Varsity Club centers around:
PERFORMANCE - enhancing the athletic, educational, and post-graduate experience of our current student-athletes.
VALUES - acting as stewards who encourage, perpetuate and demonstrate the values derived from intercollegiate competition and the importance of maintaining both academic and athletic standards of excellence.
COMMUNITY - building a spirited collegiality among current and former Princeton varsity athletes & other supporters of Princeton Athletics as part of the long tradition of athletic excellence within Princeton University.
