This week, the department of Athletics, Recreation, and Instruction invites Caltech faculty to join us at a series of athletic events and activities that celebrate our student-athletes, and our community of academic and research leaders and lecturers who define the true excellence of our Institute.

In ARI, we invest in the student experience by providing sport and physical activity experiences that demonstrate the importance of practice and application, of facing adversity internally or externally, of demonstrating resiliency in the face of setbacks, and of finding eventual resolve and personal satisfaction through achievement. We are committed to this work as we focus on the holistic well-being of our students, and to being strong partners with Caltech's faculty and staff in advancing the student experience.

In recognition of this effort, and as a thank you to our faculty partners, ARI is hosting a series of athletic events and activities that feature in-game announcements and celebrations to honor faculty. We invite you and your families to join us for all these events:
