  10. CHAMPS Life Skills • 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 CHAMPS/Life Skills Program was created to support the student-athlete development initiatives of NCAA member institutions and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the context of higher education. • In the process of achieving this mission, the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program will:  • Promote student-athletes' ownership of their academic, athletic, career, personal and • community responsibilities.       • Meet the changing needs of student-athletes.              • Promote respect for diversity and inclusion among student-athletes.              • Assist student-athletes in identifying and applying transferable skills.              • Enhance partnerships between the NCAA, member institutions and their communities • for the purpose of education.       • Foster an environment that encourages student-athletes to effectively access campus resources.               • Encourage the development of character, integrity and leadership skills. • Participating institutions in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program are provided with instructional materials and supplemental resources which support a student-athlete's development in five areas: academics, athletics, personal development, career development and community service. 

  11. Measuring Success Success will be measured in annual graduation rates and communication feedback from student-athletes surveys regarding effectiveness of the materials provided through the CHAMPS Life Skills Program.
