Athlete peer academic advisors serve their own team by providing information and resources on academic related opportunities and deadlines. Athlete PAAs are familiar with NCAA eligibility requirements, practice schedules and competition time demands. By having student-athletes help their own teammates, an environment in which students can thrive both in the classroom and on the field is fostered. Athlete PAAs of sports that report early (Football, Volleyball, and Women’s Soccer) assist during the summer months in addition to the fall and spring semesters.
Athlete PAAs work closely with Mike Yeakel, Assistant Director of Academic Advising for Athletics, the Academic Advising for Athletics team, as well as the general PAA population.
