The athletics program at Willamette University has been an important part of campus life for more than a century. Today, more than a quarter of our students participates in NCAA Division III athletics and almost everybody gets involved with intramurals or club teams at some point. Don't let Willamette's intimate size make you think that sports programs don't get the attention they deserve.
