Real World Experience · Students at Alfred “learn by doing” in and outside of the classroom. Many students

AU ATHLETICS
AU Athletics
AU Saxons compete in 19 NCAA Division III sports and two IHSA sports. About 22% of all undergraduates
play a varsity sport, and half of all
AU students participate in one of our many intramural or club sports.
Why are we called the Saxons? According to local legend, Alfred University (and the village it’s in) is named for Alfred the Great, ninth-century ruler of southern England, also known as “King of the West Saxons.” He was a distinguished leader who was also known for being a strong advocate of the value of education.
The Joyce-Walton Health and Wellness Center is a 33,000-square-foot addition to the University’s primary athletic facility, McLane Center. The Wellness Center includes a 140-meter, raised indoor track; an all-purpose court suitable for basketball, volleyball, badminton, soccer, tennis and other open space games; and two locker rooms with restroom facilities. A support wing houses a multi-purpose room for activities such as yoga, Zumba, martial arts, and dance.
