You may know Transylvania for its tradition of academic excellence — but its students also excel in many other areas, including athletics. With 27 different intercollegiate athletic teams, student-athletes make up nearly half of campus.
And their successes are historic. As the culmination of an undefeated season, the Transylvania women’s basketball team, led by Juli Fulks, D3Hoops co-head coach of the year, won the 2023 national title.
