Dear Seawolves,

At Sonoma State University, we believe every member of our community deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported. Our undocumented, immigrant, and mixed-status students, staff, and families are an essential part of who we are.

Over the past year, the university convened an Athletics Consultation Task Force with the charge of exploring the future of athletics at Sonoma State University. Its work resulted in a white paper that recommended reinstating NCAA Division II competition. Moving in that direction, however, requires confidence that the program can be sustained through a sound financial model that supports its success long term.
