Committee Descriptions

Athletes Supporting Athletes

The purpose of this committee is to organize and promote social activities for student-athletes and to promote unity amongst teams and the campus generally. In addition committee members are asked to promote the attendance of student-athletes at all athletic events, and specifically at a few targeted events throughout the academic year. The committee is encouraged to develop at least three (3) activities per academic year (e.g. one social event and the promotion of two athletic events, or vice versa).

Campus and Community Involvement

This committee seeks to involve student-athletes in both the Meredith
and Raleigh communities. Some ideas include: Habitat for Humanity and food drives to benefit The Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. The committee is encouraged to be involved in at least one community service project per semester.

National Student Athlete Day

National STUDENT-Athlete Day has been celebrated annually on April 6 since 1987. National STUDENT-Athlete Day is America's day to celebrate outstanding student-athletes who have achieved excellence in academics and athletics while having made significant contributions to the community. It is also a time to recognize those parents, teachers, coaches and school systems which make it possible for young people to find the balance between academics and athletics. By participating in National Student-Athlete Day, you can create programs, reward students and together recognize the importance of student-athletes as role models for the entire community.
