Student Athlete Academic Services

SAAS STAFF: WHO IS MY COUNSELOR?

To ensure that SMU student athletes take full advantage of the academic resources available to them through the LEC , the Center employs five full-time staff who understand the unique experiences student athletes face. These staff members track student athlete needs throughout the academic year. Their work includes counseling student athletes at orientation and registration sessions, identifying academic support needs through consultation with coaches and student athletes, and conferring with faculty and academic advisors to determine the most effective academic assistance and services.
