CHAMPS/Life Skills Program
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes
“The mission of the NCAA is to maintain Intercollegiate Athletics as integral part of the campus educational programs and the student-athletes as an integral pat of the student body. With this in mind, the NCAA CAMPS/Life Skills Program was created to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the context of higher education” (National Collegiate Athletic Association).
