Teamwork, discipline, time management and leadership are some of the key skills our students are gaining from their time at Suffolk. The proof is in our results, and Ram Nation has a lot to be proud of this year. 

Our Rams teams now compete in 19 varsity sports, up from 13 just five years ago. In that time, the University's student-athlete population increased from 180 to over 300, while full-time head coaches have tripled from four to 13. The University has secured outdoor home fields in East Boston Memorial Park through a joint-use agreement with the City of Boston, our hockey teams have homes in municipal rinks, and thanks to a generous donation from the Smith Brothers, the Ridgeway Building, the hub of Suffolk Athletics, was renovated over the summer of 2019. 

Suffolk Athletics continues to move forward and will became members of the Comomnwealth Coast Conference in 2020-21. 

Ensuring we will continue to provide the very best experience for our student-athletes. A step-up in competitive level requires a step up in your support as well. Make a gift in support of Ram Nation today!

PAY IT FORWARD

Student-athletes at Suffolk rely on the generosity of alumni and friends. Without your support, many would miss out on life-changing athletic opportunities that have distinguished Suffolk since the first athletes competed on the roof-top tennis court on the Archer Building in 1946. NCAA basketball and baseball were added in 1954, and today we offer 19 men's and women's teams. 

WHY GIVE?

Your contributions help shape the future of Suffolk Athletics, while having an immediate impact on the experiences of our student-athletes and the quality of their teams. 

Whether you specify your gift to a team or give to the general Athletics Fund, you will be supporting a winning program and showing your Suffolk pride.

ENCOURAGE EXCELLENCE

Our Teams compete in several conferences, and our student-athletes are winners in the classroom and in their sports. Suffolk entered the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) in 2020-21, which is an important next step to increase competition and the excellence of our programs. Help give our teams a competitive edge by contributing to Suffolk Athletics.
