ROME, Ga.  This week, April 6-12, 2026, the NCAA, along with the USA South Athletic Conference and its institutions, celebrate the annual nationwide Division III Week. 

Division III Week is a positive opportunity for all individuals associated with a Division III institution to observe and celebrate the impact athletics and student-athletes have on campus and in the surrounding community. During the week, every Division III school and conference office is encouraged to conduct an outreach activity that falls into one of three categories: academic accomplishment, athletic experience, or leadership/community service/campus involvement. Division III Week is a strategic initiative that achieves its desired impact from a unity of effort. It harnesses everyone working toward the same goal at the same time to build a greater awareness and understanding of Division III athletics.

The USA South is proud to celebrate Division III Week with several initiatives involving member student-athletes while also showcasing events which are occurring on campuses throughout the Conference during the week. Please follow the hashtag #D3Week or #WhyD3 on the USA South's X (@usa_south) and Instagram (@usa_south) social media platforms for all the DIII Week action.
