HEADS
UP! Mentoring Program:
HEADS
UP! assists first-year student-athletes in adjusting to the demands
of both university academics and intercollegiate athletics by talking
with junior and senior student athlete peer mentors who have successfully
"survived" their first year.
HEADS
UP! empowers first-year student-athletes to transition successfully
from high school to college. Peer mentors talk with first-year student-athletes
about academic, social, athletic, and personal pressures. The group
process encourages student-athletes to make connections with each
other across teams to foster unity within the student-athlete community.
Student-Athlete
Peer Mentors:
Student-athlete
peer mentors develop facilitation skills as they meet together to
prepare and mentor first-year student-athletes during the two semesters
of HEADS UP! Mentors earn a unit towards their baccalaureate degree
as well as gain leadership and mentoring experience for building
their résumé. For information on how to become a HEADS
UP! peer mentor, please contact the HEADS UP! Coordinator at the
Bickerstaff Student-Athlete Academic Center.
