The Department of Physical Education and Athletics at Pomona
College subscribes to the belief that participation in
physical education, intercollegiate athletics, and
campus-sponsored recreational activities can provide some of
the most challenging and meaningful educational experiences
in a studentıs life. The department believes that when
properly presented, such activities encourage the
development of positive values such as sportsmanship,
teamwork, leadership, confidence, courage, and dedication
and provide opportunities for positive social growth and
development with an efficiency that is difficult, if not
impossible, to duplicate in other educational settings.
Furthermore, such experiences provide students with specific
knowledge in the areas of physical fitness, body awareness,
skill acquisition, and nutrition. Participation in these
activities also sets the stage for adoption of a healthy
lifestyle at a young age and provides a foundation for
optimal health in life after college. Consequently, a
studentıs participation in physical education,
intercollegiate athletics, and campus-sponsored recreation
is considered to be a significant and integral part of the
educational process at Pomona College. |
