Blue Knight Information
Athletic Director Doug Young
On behalf of the entire Urbana University family, I would like to welcome you to our website and the home of Blue Knight athletics. Urbana University is proud to sponsor 14 athletic programs in one of the most beautiful geographic locations in the nation.
Although athletics is an integral part of our campus environment, it is the pride that we take in the development of the total person that we find most rewarding. The core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership, and sportsmanship are paramount in all that we do. It is our goal, as an athletic department, to take a valued interest in every student-athlete that desires to attend Urbana University. More important than wins and losses are the attainment of the characteristics and skills necessary to achieve in life after graduation.
As our campus continues to grow, it is done with the constant mind set to provide more opportunities for student development and increased success. All the while it has provided the very foundation for school spirit, pride, and a will to achieve the very best for our student-athletes.
To be a Blue Knight athlete is to be a part of something truly unique and special. I am confident that you, as a student-athlete, alumni, colleague, or friend of Urbana University, will find your time here to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful portions of your life.
Success is determined by desire and preparation and developed by those who care.
Best wishes in all that you do,
GO BLUE KNIGHTS!
Douglas P. Young, M.S.
