Division III’s Identity Initiative was introduced in 2010 to sharpen the division’s identity and to enable schools and conferences to more effectively explain why they prefer to compete in the division.

Member institutions and conferences will celebrate the fourth annual NCAA Division III Week April 6-12, 2015. Division III provides well-rounded opportunities for more than 187,000 student-athletes across the country.

The third annual Division III Week, which runs from April 7-13, is the crowning event of Division III’s 40th anniversary year, which has celebrated the division’s past through recognition of former student-athletes’ achievements since graduation and by remembering historic milestones.

With Division III Week arriving in early April, member institutions can use these tools to help communicate what they’re doing on their campuses.
