Message from the Athletic Director:
Welcome to Santa Monica College Athletics.
On behalf of our coaches, staff, faculty, and administration, I want to welcome you to Santa Monica College Athletics! Whether you are a prospective student-athlete, current student, parent, alumni, supporter, or community member, we are grateful that you are taking the time to learn more about who we are and what we are building at SMC.
At Santa Monica College, we believe athletics is an important part of the educational experience. Sports have the ability to shape students in powerful ways by teaching discipline, resilience, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and the pursuit of excellence. These lessons extend far beyond competition and are central to our commitment to holistic student development.
Our goal is to create an environment where student-athletes are challenged, supported, and prepared for what comes next. We want our student-athletes to grow as competitors, scholars, teammates, leaders, and people. That means pursuing success in competition and in the classroom while also helping students build the habits, confidence, relationships, and sense of purpose that will serve them well beyond their time at SMC.
As Corsairs, we expect our student-athletes to compete with pride, integrity, and respect. We ask them to be great teammates, engaged students, and positive representatives of this institution. In return, our department is committed to supporting them with care, consistency, and purpose.
Santa Monica College is one of the most recognized community colleges in the nation and a premier destination for students who want to pursue both academic and athletic excellence. This path is not always easy, but it can be incredibly rewarding for those who are willing to commit fully to the opportunity in front of them.
We are proud of our history, excited about our future, and committed to building a department that reflects the best of Santa Monica College.
Go Corsairs!
Tom Briskey
Interim Athletic Director
