AU Athletics make Augusta a better place

Stephen Ross once said, “Sports is the common denominator in the world that brings everyone together.”

In many instances sports and athletics have served as the great convener and bridge builder throughout the ages all over the world. Augusta University athletics has served our university and community in much the same way.

It is often stated that athletics is the front porch of a university which is the impetus for future students, parents, and other stakeholders to step up and look into the windows of what a college or university has to offer. As we continue to develop and grow Augusta University’s academic offerings and programs, we must continue to find ways to enhance our “front porch” known as AU Athletics.

In this edition of The Bridge, we highlight some of our spring athletic programs in hopes that you will be inspired to contribute to the spirit of collegiate athletics and become a true jaguar fanatic. As you scroll through the stories below you will find that our entire team has been hard at work building bridges all over this state.

I am personally grateful to all of you who have taken time to demonstrate your support to both our athletic teams and our External Relations team. We have much to be proud of and we simply could not do any of this without your steadfast support.

Sincerely,

Russell T. Keen, EdD
EVP for Administration and External Relations & Chief of Staff to the President
