MISSION STATEMENT
The program supports student-athletes in reaching their full potential. Our fundamental premise lies in developing self-reliant and independent learners while fostering the overall growth and maturation of every student-athlete. We assist student-athletes in creating comprehensive educational plans, including specific goals in the area of academic success and career development. In addition, all student-athletes are encouraged to integrate and participate as vested members in the academic community. We are fully committed to enhance student-athletes' undergraduate experience, well-being, and overall development through collaboration with campus resources.
The staff aims to support the student-athletes in all ways to encourage academic achievement. Please contact us with any further questions:
