More Teamwork. Less Divided.
Our active campus culture will inspire you to get up, get out and get moving. Play on one of our Division III athletic teams, join an intramural sport, take a yoga class or explore the great outdoors on one of our many hiking and biking trails. There's a collective understanding at Hartwick that when we move our bodies, we feel better. And when we collaborate — we thrive.
Hawk Pride
With 21 NCAA Division III teams, it’s no wonder that almost a third of our students compete in varsity sports. Our rosters are filled with Empire 8 Rookies of the Year, All-Conference standouts and recognized President’s List scholars. As a Hawk, you’ll find the support you need to be a success both as a student and an athlete.
Not coming to Hartwick as an athlete? You’re still a Hawk! Help Swoop, our college mascot, cheer the players on from the stands.

Hartwick's Pine Lake Environmental Campus
Hartwick's Pine Lake Environmental Campus offers sites for hiking, canoeing, paddle boarding, and swimming during the summer months, and early fall and spring. During the winter months, students take to the trails at Pine Lake for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
On-Campus Hiking Trails
Want to unplug and get out into nature right from our main campus? We have options for that too! Hartwick offers eight miles of beautiful hiking trails for students to explore.
