Athletic Department Mission Statement for Student-Athlete Recruitment

As one of the recognized leaders in intercollegiate athletics, the Athletic Department of Stanford University is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in all of its endeavors.  In the recruitment of prospective student-athletes, the Department should serve as a role model in maintaining principles of institutional and personal responsibility.  The Athletic Department expects all student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, and department personnel to act honorably and ethically during the recruiting process.  In particular, ALL participants in the recruiting process are expected to abide by Stanford’s Fundamental Standard, which states: "Students at Stanford are expected to show both within and without the University such respect for order, morality, personal honor and the rights of others as is demanded of good citizens.  Failure to do this will be sufficient cause for removal from the University."

Part of your duties as a student-athlete may include recruiting activities, including hosting recruits on a campus visit.  Please treat these recruiting responsibilities with the proper care and attention, and remember the points on this page.  If you have any questions about these policies or your role as a student-athlete host, please see your head coach, Beth Goode, or Cara Hanelin.
