Iowa Hawkeye Athletics
Win. Graduate. Do It Right.
2020-25 Strategic PlanMission Statement
The mission of the University of Iowa Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is to provide the administrative and coaching support, facilities, resources and equipment necessary for student-athletes to graduate from the University of Iowa while competing successfully in broad-based championship-caliber athletic competition. The overall well being of the participant and the integrity of the program is paramount in all that we do.
Five-year strategic plan
The University of Iowa Department of Intercollegiate Athletics employs more than 250 full-time staff who work to provide more than 650 male and female student-athletes a superior academic and athletics experience. In 2020, a new, five-year strategic plan was developed to meet the goals and aspirations of the Iowa Athletics Department. This plan aligns with the greater university mission. Coaches and other leaders within the department will develop and carry out annual action plans to help achieve success.
The five-year strategic plan will serve as a road map for the department as it moves further into the 21st century. The athletics department strategic plan process invited input from all staff, student-athletes (through their representatives), the Presidential Committee on Athletics and other members of the University of Iowa community. The strategic plan of the University of Iowa Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is not a static document. As goals are accomplished, they will likely be replaced by greater aspirations
