NAIA Champions of Character
|
The NAIA Champions of Character program is designed to instill an understanding of character values in athletics, and provide student-athletes, coaches, and parents the training to help them know and do the right things, inside and outside the athletics setting. The program is dedicated to the principle that character is a choice and that being a champion is about reaching one's potential and making good decisions consistently in daily life. The mission of Champions of Character is to restore character values and raise a generation of students who understand and demonstrate these values in everyday decisions. The following five core values are put into play, accounted for, and tracked at all NAIA schools:

 |
- Integrity
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Sportsmanship
- Servant Leadership
As an NAIA institution, Hannibal-LaGrange University currently has a Champions of Character campus program which includes:
- Ongoing character education for all student-athletes using the Champions of Character Live 5 orientation program
- Professional development for coaches and athletics administrative staff, including completion of the Character-Driven Coaching course
- Emphasis on hospitality and game management of athletics events and conduct in competition
- Servant leadership activities that promote student leadership and athletic community engagement
- Ongoing oversight and assessment of progress in the program's implementation by both Hannibal-LaGrange University and the NAIA
