LVC sponsors 26 intercollegiate sports for men and women. The intercollegiate athletic experience is an important part of student life. In recent years, approximately 30 percent of the student body participated in the College\u2019s athletic program. Our teams compete in the Middle Atlantic Conference, and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference and the United Collegiate Hockey Conference at the NCAA Division III level and the National Association of Collegiate Esports.<\/p>\n

The LVC intercollegiate athletics program encourages each student-athlete to develop their athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, sportsmanship, and institutional loyalty. A high priority is placed on integrating educational and athletic experiences. The LVC student-athlete receives the same privileges in the areas of admission, financial aid, academic advising, course selection, scheduling, and living and dining accommodations as do all other students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
