Rutgers Announces its Athletics Creed
Sep 06 | General
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The Rutgers University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics today announced its "Athletics Creed." The Creed reflects the character of the Rutgers Community and serves as a declaration of its support for the Scarlet Knights.
"I began this process because I thought it was important that we define what it means to be a Scarlet Knight on game day," said Director of Athletics Patrick Hobbs. "Our students have embraced it and our hope and aspiration is that everyone who is part of Rutgers adopts and promotes its calling."
