About the Program

In 2010, the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program and Student-Athlete Development units merged to become NCAA Student-Athlete Affairs. In addition to providing continued support for life skills and student-athlete development programs, the newly created student-athlete affairs unit offers a new name, more programming and additional resources open to all NCAA member institutions and conferences.
