In Case You Missed It! RECORDING: Virtual NCAA Presentation: Empowering Student-Athletes and Their Families

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is an organization dedicated to providing a pathway to opportunity for college athletes. More than 1,100 colleges and universities are members of the NCAA. As a college-bound student-athlete, you are responsible for your eligibility — that means planning ahead, taking high school classes seriously, and protecting your amateur status. It can be a difficult first step, but the benefits of being a student-athlete are worth the effort.

This Virtual Presentation will help you understand the eligibility requirements for being a college athlete as well as your role and responsibilities in the process. Presented on Monday, December 6, 2021, a recording can be found here.
