The National Association of Intercoligiate Athletics (NAIA) has recognized Emmanuel College along with an elite list of other schools by awarding us the Champions of Character Five Star Institution Award.  This award is given to the Colleges and Universities who clearly reflect five key character values in their athletic programs: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership. The NAIA believes that sports do not build character in young people - character-driven adults do. Character is something that is handing down from one generation to another, and the NAIA has recognized that Emmanuel College not only holds these beliefs, but excels in them.  We are proud of our athletics program and the 25+ intercollegiate sports it represents at Emmanuel and encourage you to come support the EC lions whenever you get the chance!  For more information about the NAIA Champions of Character Award click here and for more info about any of the sports teams at Emmanuel, click here to visit our official athletics webiste.
