Tabor College recognized for Champions of Character status

Tabor College recently has been named a NAIA Five-Star Institution in the Champions of Character program for the 2010-11 school year.

The college received points based on NAIA Champions of Character Scorecard in the following categories: character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion.

Institutions could earn additional points based on exceptional student-athlete grade-point averages and by obtaining zero ejections during competition throughout the course of the academic year.

?In today?s complex college athletic environments?where success is sometimes only measured by wins and losses?strengthening effective athletic departments and leadership is key to advancing character-driven intercollegiate athletics,? said Kristin Gillette, NAIA director of Champions of Character.

?The NAIA supports and recognizes member institutions and conferences using sport as a vehicle to teach life lessons. No doubt this is a point of differentiation in college athletics and making a huge impact on our 60,000 student-athletes.?

The scorecard process is based on the NAIA?s flagship program, Champions of Character, which emphasizes the five core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.
