NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program
The NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program offers programming to cultivate student-athletes' lives in five main areas: academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, career development, and commitment to service. Created in 1991, Life Skills Programs at NCAA member institutions are supported nationally through the promotional and financial efforts of the NCAA Foundation, the NCAA and the Division I-A Athletic Directors' Association.
At The University of Toledo, the Director of CHAMPS/Life Skills coordinates events in the areas of community outreach through the Rockets 'Round Town program, career planning through collaboration with AfterSport and career services on campus. Additionally, a bimonthly Life Skills newsletter is published and distributed to coaches, administrators and student-athletes to promote programming and to recognize our student-athletes' accomplishments in the classroom, in sport, and in life.
