Pride Statement

The student-athletes have developed a values statement for the athletics community, called PRIDE.  PRIDE stands for Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Dedication, and Education; all of which are values that guide the actions of the members of the athletics community.  The following statement describes what it means to have PRIDE as a Northwestern Wildcat:
