Understanding Your Student-Athlete Experience

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

Presented at the 2014 NASPA Conference in Baltimore, MD March 18, 2014. The demands placed on today's student-athletes challenge their own engagement in traditional student life. Campuses either ignore these issues or continue to try and force the “square peg into the round hole.” The key to effectively integrating athletics with student life is to first understand the student-athlete experience. Presenters will discuss collaboration between student affairs and athletics to support this unique environment for student-athletes.
