EXCELLENCE OF CHARACTER
CULTIVATING LIFELONG VALUES AND HABITS
The culture of our program is who we are to our core. Our mission is to use high-performance college sport to help our student-athletes become the best version of themselves.
OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR CULTURE
1
PROGRAM VALUES
Respect. Accountability. Positivity. Ambition. These are just some of the values and traits we strive to uphold in our pursuit of excellence. Living these out, on and off the water, requires everyone in our program to make a commitment to something larger than themselves.

CULTURE IS TAUGHT
The way you build culture is to teach it every day--and to allow your student-athletes to be part of that teaching. Coaches aim to provide positive, thoughtful leadership while empowering student-athletes to raise our standards in rowing, academics, and character.

SPREAD THE SUNSHINE
"Spread the sunshine." It's our team mantra. Wherever Syracuse oarsmen go, we aim to make people's days a bit brighter through our words and actions. It means representing our team and our university in every encounter that we have with other people.
