In 2020, Brown University launched the Excellence in Brown Athletics Initiative to improve varsity athletics competitiveness, enhance club sports and uphold its commitment to providing equal opportunities in athletics for women and men. Two years after the University welcomed M. Grace Calhoun as vice president for athletics and recreation in 2021, the Division of Brown Athletics and Recreation released a strategic plan, launching a new vision.

That plan is available on the Brown Athletics website, and this Excellence in Brown Athletics Initiative website has transitioned to archive-only status.
