Message from the Director of Athletics, Javier Krumm
( jkrumm@lasierra.edu )
At La Sierra University, we are “servant leaders.” It is through servant leadership and hard work that we believe we can find success. The only place you will find the word success before work, is in the dictionary, otherwise success comes with hard work. It is important for us, during these times of crisis, our athletics program continues to develop our athletes physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. “Today I will do what others won’t so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.” - Jerry Rice

Message from the Faculty Athletics Representative, Dr. Arturo Diaz 
 ( adiaz@lasierra.edu )
Although athletics and school are important I want you to remember the big picture. This is a time to focus on, and be grateful for, your family and friend’s safety, health, and well-being. Even though this is not how we envisioned ending the school year, be proud of yourself, your resilience, and your ability to adapt to extreme circumstances. We are proud of each and every one of you! As you focus on your academics this quarter, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any difficulties in any of your courses.
