Specifically, the Director will:

  • Develop, nurture, and promote positive working relationships among athletics staff and teaching faculty across campus.
  • Monitor the progress of student-athletes who have been identified to be in need of special academic support, or who are at risk of failing to meet academic expectations, advise student-athletes to take full advantage of support services available to Colgate students, and encourage close interaction with professors and faculty advisors.
  • Provide guidance to student-athletes interfacing with the Office of Student Conduct, including instances of conduct violations (e.g. Academic Honor Code, conduct policies, etc.) and assist in facilitating communication among impacted parties in accordance with educational privacy laws.
  • Identify or conceive opportunities to recognize the achievements of student-athletes.
  • Coordinate and invigorate the Faculty Liaison Program.
