Go Presidents!

With W&J College student-athletes making up nearly half of the student body, athletic life on campus is a critical part of student life, for those on the team and those who cheer you on. We have dedicated coaches and mentors to take you to the next level and some of the most impressive practice and playing facilities in Division III.

Men's Sports

Baseball has advanced to two College World Series since 2017. Football has posted a winning record in 39 consecutive seasons. Men's Golf has 20 conference titles. We're proud of our student-athletes and what they've accomplished on and off the field - and they're hungry for more. Join the team and see where it takes you.

“I pre-date the BSU. The BSU did not exist when I was a student at W&J. But I recruited the students that started the BSU. And I worked with the students that founded the BSU. And that was an awesome experience. It was a great group of students that came through W&J at that time, and they were just what we needed.” – Bob Adkins 87′, Dean of Admission

“My ambition is set on pursuing an MD and specializing in family medicine, or potentially an MD-Ph.D.” Kaiser said. “But this internship has broadened my understanding of the medical field, both front and back. Physicians have to get their information from somewhere and medical writers really facilitate that.”
