Our Pillars
We believe that students benefit from participating in athletic activities in many ways. MIAA is helping students develop important life values in leadership, sportsmanship, community service, and wellness.
Leadership
Athletics provide an excellent opportunity to set positive standards of leadership.
Sportsmanship
MIAA promotes sportsmanship, integrity and ethics, and creates a positive environment for athletes.
Community Service
Giving back to the community is what makes student-athletes heroes in the eyes of those who look up to them.
Wellness
Ensuring the safety and well-being of our student-athletes is a top priority.
Coaches’ Education
Coaching the next generation of leaders through student-athletics presents unique opportunities and challenges.
Student-Athletes of the Month
Sponsored by Wheaton College, this award is presented on a monthly basis to two student-athletes who display excellence in the areas of academics, athletics, and community service.
In addition, two monthly winners from each school year are presented the Harry Agganis Student-Athlete of the Year Scholarship.
Respect and Civility
The mission is to foster respect and civility among member schools, athletic administrators, coaches and student-athletes by promoting awareness, and acceptance. The focus is to celebrate all differences by creating associations that are welcoming and engaging for all.
