體育競技
該校为著名的「愛國者聯盟」(Patriot League)成员之一。
該校冰球校歷史悠久,屬於「冰球東部協會」(Hockey East Association);並參與「北美十三州體育協會」(Colonial Athletic Association)及「東部大學體育聯盟」(Eastern College Athletic Conference)等約十種男女室內外體育競賽,包括足球、壘球、曲棍球、賽艇、戶外賽跑、游泳等。該校籃球隊與其他八所位於新英格蘭地區、紐約州及馬里蘭州的大學共同屬於「美東聯盟」(America East Conference)。正式參與競賽等級均屬美國「全國大學體育協會」第一級(Division I)。[12]

校隊主色是猩紅色,暱稱為「㹴犬」(Terriers),吉祥物名喚「瑞德」(Rhett),是條項圈帶刺、叉手咧嘴的小獵犬。「瑞德」命名的靈感,來自美國1930年代暢銷小說《飄》中的經典名句:「世上再沒人比瑞德更愛思嘉了。」(No one loves Scarlet more than Rhett)。書中女主角郝思嘉(Scarlet O'Hara)的名字,恰與猩紅色英文同字;而「瑞德」即源自男主角白瑞德(Rhett Butler)的名字。[13]
