Kansas State University

The mission of the Student-Athlete Services Department is to implement and provide services that support students academically, enhance student-athlete skills for the future, focus on student-athlete well-being, and celebrate student-athlete success. The design of these services and programs will recognize the importance of a culturally diverse and inclusive environment; and are to be congruent with the institution’s educational mission and its academic policies and procedures. 

Kansas State University and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics are committed to our student athletes’ overall experience and work hard to provide rich educational development in areas including degree completion through academic and educational support, career planning, campus and community service and personal development. The program values the individual contributions and the diversity of people associated with Kansas State University, and there is a strong commitment to providing student athletes with an inclusive environment.

The Student Athlete Services Staff strives for student-athlete development and achievement at Kansas State and preparation for the future by leaning on the Strategic Priorities:

The Student-Athlete Services program is staffed by six full-time academic counselors, including Directors for the Student-Athlete Development and Specialized Learning programs, post-graduate interns, and approximately 75 academic tutors and support staff.

Each team is assigned an academic counselor who is responsible for contact with designated student athletes, supervision of tutorial services, administration of the team’s study sessions and monitoring the student’s academic progress. Each counselor works with their students in utilizing program resources, University services, and the academic advising required by their School, College or major department.
