The Golden Eagles Athletic Department is happy to announce, La Sierra University was recognized as an NAIA Champions of Character Five-Star Institution for the 2021-2022 academic year. It is the eleventh year in a row the Golden Eagles have been awarded with Five-Star Status.

Each year, NAIA institutions are assessed on their demonstrated commitment to the "Champions of Character" initiative. Up to 100 points can be earned, with at least 60 points to qualify as a Five-Star institution. Points are earned in five key areas: character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion. We are proud to announce the Golden Eagles reached the "Gold Standard," earning close to a perfect score of 100 points.

We would like to congratulate our student-athletes, coaches and staff for their efforts in achieving this annual goal.
