Own the
Future
Locker Room Renovation Project
With the construction of the Peterson Performance Center underway our focus now turns to renovating Charger Gymnasium to provide quality locker rooms to all teams as well as additional student-athlete centered spaces.
Scholarship Budget
In order to continue competing for conference and national championships we must provide our coaches with the resources necessary to recruit and retain high-caliber student-athletes. Scholarship budgets are most closely related to the overall success of any collegiate team at any level. As we set our sights on even loftier goals we aim to increase our scholarship allotments and recruit the next generation of Charger greats.
“Building upon the strong history and foundation of Chargers Athletics the future has never looked brighter. The path ahead is full of opportunities just waiting for us to meet the challenge and embrace them.”
