The Department for Athletics, Intramurals, and Recreation enhances the NYU experience through programs and facilities designed to inspire active and healthy lifestyles. Our NCAA Division III varsity teams, club sports, intramurals, and recreational programs complement each other by meeting the needs of diverse students and contribute to the development of such intangible attributes as leadership, initiative, and a passion for working cooperatively toward a goal. We pursue daily, intentional actions to continue to improve on all levels from varsity athletics, clubs, intramurals and recreation to customer service, operations, and student wellness and success. We nurture thriving groups connected by shared interests reflecting the diversity of NYU and New York City. Beyond the physical benefits of sport and fitness, we seek to stimulate the intellect of our students and staff by awakening in them an awareness of social issues that inspires them toward action to create a more just, equitable world. We empower students to take leadership roles to instill in them such qualities as confidence, risk management, and critical decision making that will serve them throughout their lives in any endeavor they choose to pursue.
