Balancing Athletics and AcademicLocation:
Learning Support Auditorium Overview:
College athletes walk a tricky tight rope of balancing their athletic pursuits with their academic demands. It’s important for student athletes, whether they are on scholarship or footing their own bill, to keep their eyes on “the real prize”—earning their undergraduate degree. Learn what is important from two sides of this important issue. Hear from a successful college athlete who earned his degree from Stanford University while serving as captain of the basketball team, and now is in graduate school; and a “take-care-of-business” compliance officer who has to ensure that student athletes at Kennesaw State make appropriate academic progress—or stop playing!
