Campus Resources
Providing resources to ensure student-athletes success spiritually, mentally, and physically is always the ultimate goal of SWD.
We are a confidential source for student-athletes and will guide them to the resource that can best help them cope with life’s struggles and regain their balance. If a student-athlete seems to be struggling with personal difficulties, Student Welfare and Development can help. We will assess their needs and refer them to the appropriate resource(s):
