Our computer lab in the Dick Enberg Academic Center is one of the finest resources that our student-athletes have at their disposal. As a result, the computer lab sees heavy traffic year-in and year-out. It has come to the point now where we need to refurbish our lab beyond just the existing technology. Through various furniture upgrades and aesthetic improvements, we can make the computer lab a more inviting place and one that is conducive to helping our student-athletes achieve academic success. One-Time Cost: $7,000-$10,000
Academic Recognition/Environment As our student-athletes continue to succeed in the classroom, it is important to honor those achievements and the academic support program that helped make it possible. Annually, student-athletes are honored at the Academic Excellence Banquet. Additionally, the purchase of photographs and artwork will make the Dick Enberg Academic Center an attractive, motivating place for our student-athletes to accomplish academic goals. This aesthetic enhancement will also aid recruiting by showcasing our student-athletes, CMU Athletics and the University.
With your support, we can recognize and honor our outstanding student-athletes and display the support that CMU Athletics provides for the academic success of our student-athletes with a fully-funded event.
One-time cost for aesthetic improvements: $2,000
Annual cost for academic excellence banquet: $6,000
Professional Development/Leadership
To better serve our student-athletes, it is crucial that the Academic Advising Staff enhances its skills by attending professional development seminars and conferences (N4A and NCAA). This will allow our staff to enhance their knowledge, improve networking skills and ensure that CMU advisers are in tune with current issues, practices and methods to better serve our student-athletes. This funding will also allow for Student-Athlete Advisory Committee members to participate in student-athlete leadership seminars and further enhance their overall student-athlete experience. Annual Cost: $5,000
Technology
A major point of pride of Chippewa Athletics is the continued academic success of CMU student-athletes. Success in today’s academic realm is no longer defined by the same standards that it was 20, 10 or even five years ago, and much of this shift is due to advances in technology. Students not only are asked to use technology to aid their studies, but fully integrate it in their academic careers. We can help our student-athletes continue to stay on the cutting edge of academic success by purchasing and updating current computers, printers, scanners and software. Annual Cost: $10,000 |
