Effective 2006-07 - A new Division III Stategic Initiatives Conference Grant Program begins. Approved by the Management Council, the program is designated in a three tiered format, consistent with three key areas of focus identified in the Division III Strategic Plan: Tier One - Professional Development/Education/Communication; Tier Two - Social Responsibility and Integration; and Tier Three - Quality of the Participation Experience. The initiatives also directly reflect the essence of the Division III philosophy statement:
Colleges and universities in Division III place highest priority on the overall quality of the educational experience and on the successful completion of all students' academic programs. They seek to establish and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete's athletics activities are conducted as an integral part of the student-athlete's educational experience. They also seek to establish and maintain an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among their student-athletes and athletics staff.
A recap on the outcomes of all initiatives programs are listed with each initiative program.
