INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

Mission: Wayne College athletics is committed to building complete student-athletes through academic achievement and athletic excellence. We provide the necessary tools for mental and physical achievement in sport and life.

The University of Akron Wayne College intercollegiate athletic program consists of women's volleyball and basketball and men's basketball and golf. Our teams compete primarily against other Ohio regional campuses and are members of the Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC) along with Miami University Hamilton and Middletown; OSU Newark and Lima; Ohio University Chillicothe, Eastern, Lancaster and Zanesville; and University of Cincinnati Clermont.

All students are encouraged to participate in the athletic program either as a team member or a spectator. All home games are held in the Boyer Gymnasium
