Student Athlete Academic Services

SAAS MISSION

The mission of the Student Athlete Academic Services team is to help student athletes become more independent, self-confident, and efficient learners who are able to respond effectively to specific academic challenges, to articulate their own educational goals, and to succeed at any level of the undergraduate curriculum.

To support this mission, our goals include:

• Creating a supportive educational environment that assists student athletes with their transition to the university culture.
  
  
• Guiding student athletes in becoming responsible for their own learning by acquiring skills and utilizing campus resources that help them identify and pursue their educational goals.
  
  
• Encouraging student athletes to develop and apply the skills and abilities that will expand their range of personal and professional choices and reinforce their commitment to life-long learning.
