be ready to change the world when you

CompeteDivision III athletics provides a well-rounded collegiate experience that

balances rigorous academics, competitive athletics and the myriad co-

curricular opportunities offered at student-oriented schools such as Sweet

Briar. Over the past three years, Sweet Briar student-athletes have competed

in the NCAA women’s tennis championship and garnered Old Dominion

Athletic Conference Player and Rookie of the Year honors. Vixens are

routinely voted to All-Conference and Honorable Mention teams and our

swim team is a perennial threat to finish in the top three teams at the ODAC

swimming championship meet.

Two-thirds of our Vixen student-athletes have been named to the ODAC

All-Academic team. Three of the last four Sweet Briar Presidential Medal

recipients have been student-athletes. The 2011 Presidential Medal winner

was also awarded a Fulbright Scholarship for academic studies in Turkey.

The Sweet Briar experience prepares you to compete and succeed in both

academics and athletics.
