About the Athletics Excellence Fund – AIC Gives ’26

Join your fellow Yellow Jackets in supporting AIC student-athletes.

AIC Athletics sponsors 25 varsity programs and five club programs, providing opportunities for more than 700 student-athletes to compete, grow, and succeed. Under the leadership of Athletic Director Rob Kearney, the department is building a culture grounded in grit, resilience, and a team-first mentality.

Our student-athletes are committed to excellence in competition, in the classroom, and in the community. They represent AIC with pride while developing the discipline, confidence, and leadership skills that prepare them for success beyond their collegiate experience.

This is more than athletics. It is a community built on support, accountability, and shared purpose.
