New Coaching Spotlight: Cole Klubek



 Athletic Additions

Hilbert College President Michael S. Brophy, Ph.D. announced the addition of three new sports – football, men’s and women’s track & field, and women’s ice hockey – to begin competition in fall 2022. The addition of these athletic programs advances the College’s strategic plan, Hilbert 2025, which calls for increased engagement, recruitment, and retention of student-athletes. 

“As outlined in our strategic plan, Hilbert has always intended to grow our athletic offerings,” Brophy said. “Given the current momentum around revitalizing our Hilbert campus and our tremendous community partners, we are energized to accelerate our planned athletics growth by one year.”

Hilbert has recently launched a capital campaign for a new NCAA Division III track and field complex, with an artificial turf field.  The project is tentatively slated for completion by fall 2023.  The Hawks are still finalizing plans to join athletic conferences for these respective sports.
