In December of 2005, the NYU Vice President of Student Affairs and the Director of Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation met with athletic team leaders, captains and members of the NYU Student Athlete Advisory Committee to discuss what could be done to:
- Enhance a sense of community between the varsity teams;
- Develop a greater connection between student-athletes and other student groups on campus; and,
- Build community on campus through increased attendance at selected athletics contests.
