Abstract:
|
Academic support and athletics professionals both play a crucial role in the retention of student-athletes. To create a stronger connection between these departments, we piloted a program that engages athletic coaches in academic intervention efforts. Working under the guidance of professional staff in Academic Support, coaches are now taking an active role off the field to increase student success. For example, they are assisting student-athletes on academic warning with the development of academic success plans and connecting them to support services to facilitate the attainment of good academic standing. Retention and academic success data will be presented, and attendees will gain practical strategies for upping the ante on student-athlete success on their own campuses. |
