Be Your Own Cavalier

The Be Your Own Cavalier campaign will serve as a slogan for Western Athletics to guide the 5-year plan for growth of the athletic offerings at Western. The campaign will serve as a guiding light for student-athletes, staff, and community members that puts the student-athletes in the driver’s seat for their own success.  

What does it mean to Be Your Own Cavalier?

To Be Your Own Cavalier means to be driven in pursuit of excellence in all pillars of being a Western Student-Athlete including in the classroom, community, and competitive space. To Be your Own Cavalier means to do the daily activities to set yourself up for future success.

  • CAVALIERS must be optimistic and believe in themselves and their future goals to be driven for success.
  • CAVALIERS persist despite their circumstances and use their resilience to define their future.  
  • CAVALIERS practice a growth-mindset, recognizing the opportunity to learn throughout all of life's wins and losses.
  • CAVALIERS remain disciplined in doing what it takes to achieve success. 
  • CAVALIERS remain committed to teamwork and lifting others around them. 
At Western, we understand that in order to Be Your Own Cavalier, it takes a support system advocating for your growth and success. The Western community is a key driver for student success in becoming their own Cavalier. At Western, our community works to support student-athletes in the classroom, in community and at the competitive arena. With an array of programs, resources, and assistance along with the school pride, student-athletes are ready to Be Their Own Cavaliers.
