Our mission, to provide CSU student-athletes with a transformative experience, requires significant investment of time, energy and resources. We take our mission to invest ourselves in the development of CSU student athletes as people, students and competitors very seriously and call on all Cleveland State University stakeholders to assist us in these efforts.

Through investment and energy placed in our five core operating principles below, we believe our student-athletes will receive a transformational experience at Cleveland State University:

Enhance the CSU Mission
Attract Championship Caliber Vikings
Develop Unprecedented Community Support
Share Our Accomplishments
Embrace Compliance
