The primary mission of the Athletic Student Services Office is to support the efforts of every student-athlete in balancing their academic and athletic goals in conjunction with existing campus services. The services, available to all athletes have been designed to support their academic and personal objectives. The programs and services are based on the philosophy that the development of the whole person is of primary interest. At Cornell, student-athletes are first and foremost students, who are highly committed to both their academic and athletic pursuits.
The Director of Athletic Student Services program maintains contact with the Athletic Department's administration, coaches, and University faculty and personnel regarding the academic progress of student-athletes'. The director also serves as the coordinator of the NCAA CHAMPS/Lifeskills Program. The university was accepted into this exciting program beginning in 1999. The NCAA CHAMPS/Lifeskills program's mission is to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting and to support the development of student-athletes in five areas: academics, athletics, personal development, career development, and community service.
