Mission
Student-Athlete Support Services is committed to providing the tools and resources necessary to prepare for life roles. We encourage student-athletes to capitalize upon collegiate and athletic experiences as they become holistic persons.
Philosophy
The Department of Athletics at the University of Denver recognizes that participation in Division I intercollegiate athletics makes exceptional demands on a student-athlete's time and energy. To ensure each student-athlete develops to his/her potential the Department of Athletics is committed to a comprehensive and systematic personal development program designed to reach each student-athlete based on his or her individual needs. The focus of the program is on the individual as a whole person-academically, athletically, socially, and emotionally-and the changing needs and skills of that individual in the years during college and after graduation.
Also considered in the development of this program is the belief that student-athletes at the University of Denver should be integrated into the University community as much as possible. The Student-Athlete Support Services Program integrates existing University services and resources, and where appropriate, creates new initiatives to enhance the student-athlete experience in the areas of academic commitment, personal development, and community service.
