Roosevelt University is proud to announce the reinstatement of intercollegiate athletics under the leadership of athletic director Mike Cassidy. The University plans to introduce a minimum of 12 varsity Roosevelt Lakers teams over the next three years, with the first squads competing as early as the fall of 2010.
By reestablishing Roosevelt athletics, the University hopes to further broaden the Roosevelt experience and help the University attract students who would have otherwise studied elsewhere simply so they could continue their athletic careers.
Roosevelt will field 12 teams, serving both men and women, to compete first in the NAIA with long term plans to be recognized as an NCAA Division III program.
As the Roosevelt Lakers’ rekindled athletics program comes together under Cassidy’s guidance, the University will be negotiating indoor and outdoor space and facilities, as well as merging participation across both campuses.
