This spring, Sarah Lawrence is taking what Dean of Studies Al Green calls "a natural step": the College is applying to become a member of NCAA Division III. It's a move that the administration hopes will enhance the student experience. Participation in varsity sports on-campus has grown steadily in the past 15 years, with 125 athletes playing on 12 varsity teams. NCAA Division III is designed for small liberal arts colleges.
