FORMALAPPEAL FOR SUPPORT TO GEORGETOWN LEADERSHIP
The undersigned student-athletes, parents, friends of Georgetown University Field Hockey, and other stakeholders appeal to the leadership of Georgetown University to join us in increased support of the Field Hockey Program, so the team has the ability to compete in the University-selected Big East Conference.
The Georgetown Field Hockey Program has suffered a 10+ year losing record. We ask the University to aid in the reversal of this trend and accommodate extraordinary expenses not borne by any of the Program's Big East competitors, including practice field travel, practice field rental, home field travel and home field rental. Additionally, we ask for re-allocation of athletic office funds to provide competitive coaching resources, scholarship resources, training and recruiting resources.
In keeping with the Georgetown University Athletic Mission and Vision, the hard-working, committed and talented Field Hockey players look for competitive success each and every time they take the field. Without appropriate University support and attention, the Georgetown University Field Hockey student-athletes are set up to lose even though recruited to win.
The Jesuit tradition of excellence continues in these young women who are making mature and organized efforts to improve their athletic careers. Cura Personalis. "Care for the whole person. " We support the renewed enthusiasm and strongly urge the Georgetown administration to provide the necessary support to compete fairly in the Big East Conference.
