About SAAS
SAAS Mission Statement
The USC Student-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) Program is committed to providing the necessary support to assist all student-athletes in reaching their full potential academically, personally, and professionally. The SAAS Program is fully integrated with the University. Our program includes academic advising, career development, community service, tutorial programs, and learning specialists, which are all aimed at promoting a philosophy of individual responsibility so as to encourage each student-athlete to value their educational experience. In providing such services, student-athletes will be afforded the opportunity to develop the skills needed to persist towards graduation, become leaders within the community, and lead successful and productive lives.
NCAA CHAMPS Life Skills Program
"Challenging Athletes' Minds for Personal Success"
The mission of the NCAA is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body. With this in mind, the USC SAAS Program has embraced the mission of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program and has developed services and programs that are focused on enhancing the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting. Specifically, our program is aimed at addressing the student-athlete as a "whole person", not just a student or an athlete.
