Making the Case for Support of Stevens Athletics
As a university, we are expected to provide a foundation that will support and enhance the minds and bodies of our students. Athletics provide an opportunity for students to learn that the strength of a team relies on the collaborative efforts of its individuals.

Thanks to the support of alumni and friends of Stevens, scholar-athletes have reached new heights as they continue to compete on a national level while also excelling in the classroom.

Named after a historical organization at Stevens, the Varsity S Club offers membership opportunities and a number of benefits for the fans of Stevens Athletics. Many of these benefits are described below.

Varsity S Projects
Thanks to your support, the Varsity S Club has assisted in the complete renovation of the Stevens tennis court facilities. In addition, a new scoreboard and timing system was recently put in place for the De Baun Aquatic Center. The Varsity S Club has also helped improve the locker room facilities in the Schaefer Center. During the summer of 2007, donations made to the Varsity S club aided in the resurfacing of the De Ban Athletic Complex.

Looking to the future, Stevens Athletics is looking build dugouts for the baseball team; add sports medicine facilities to accommodate the rapidly growing number of athletes; and install a new scoreboard system in Canavan Arena. Furthermore, the Department is attempting to fundraise to support the construction of a brand-new multimillion dollar field house. Once again, we need your help!
