Basketball Excellence Program - About

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT:

The University of Toronto’s Basketball Excellence Program was initiated as part of our uncompromising commitment to athletic and academic excellence, and to further support the social and leadership development of our students. Guided by our values of integrity, equity, diversity, leadership and excellence, the Basketball Excellence Program aims to create and sustain a winning culture, while nurturing and developing our leaders of tomorrow.

We encourage participation in our varsity basketball programs as a strategy for advancing academic success; enhancing physical, mental and social wellbeing; building a sense of community; and acquiring the necessary skills for post-university success. Our students receive the best-in-class coaching and education in the country, and will gain access to a global network of business leaders, both as a student and a University of Toronto Alumni.




THE VISION:

Under a three to five-year strategic vision, this Basketball Excellence Program (BEP) will be found under the overarching Varsity Blues Excellence Program which has the same mission and values, simply targeted to individual sports, like basketball, football and hockey. The benefit is that it will allows us to target alumni, brands and companies who share a passion and interest for that sport and want their contributions to go directly to that sports program.  



HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
