D1 Transition Update Oct. 2022

Making a powerful impact

500+ STUDENT-ATHLETES PROUDLY REPRESENT ST. THOMAS

The decision to reclassify to Division I represents nothing less than the relentless pursuit of comprehensive excellence. We’re making our presence known in new markets and attracting a more diverse cross section of student-athletes who are accomplished in and out of the classroom. We’re competing at a more dynamic level, building the pride, spirit and loyalty of our fans and creating a more engaged community of alumni, donors, students, faculty, staff and Minnesota residents. D-I athletics is helping tell our story of excellence on a bigger stage, broadening the impact that St. Thomas can have regionally, nationally and even globally.

FROM 31 STATES AND 12 COUNTRIES

the relentless pursuit of comprehensive excellence

“When you're applying those same expectations of all-around excellence and then looking for someone who might be taller or run faster or tackle harder … you have to expand the footprint of where you're looking. The core values and mission of our school is something I’m simply not willing to bend on.” - Glenn Caruso, Football head coach
