STUDENT-ATHLETE AFFAIRS/LIFE SKILLS
The Life Skills program was developed for the student-athletes at Bowling Green State University to not only make each of them a better student and athlete, but to prepare them for the biggest challenge of all -- life after graduation.
Programs and workshops concerning a variety of social issues that face many student-athletes are conducted as part of the academic, personal, and career components of the Life Skills Program. Workshops to assist and educate the student-athletes include: computer
skills, goals and values, health and nutrition, resume-writing workshops, and business etiquette for juniors and seniors.
Life Skills activities also include community service volunteer projects; nationally known guest speakers for student-athletes; and participation in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
Life Skills has given Falcon student-athletes the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs emphasizing five key commitments: academics, athletics, personal development, career development and service. Some of the programs include:
Networking Night – This event, held every spring, provides an opportunity for student-athletes to meet professionals in a variety of professional fields.
Life Skills Community Service - Throughout the course of the academic year, all 18 intercollegiate athletic teams participate in community service projects. Some past projects include working with the Special Olympics, Thanksgiving Food Drive, Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, Dance Marathon Student-Athlete Hour, Relay For Life, and speaking at local schools.
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee - The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) consists of some of our top student-athlete leaders who represent all 18 BGSU sports and the student trainers.
