Creating Winners...in the classroom, in competition, in life!
The University of Washington Student-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) unit is committed
to providing the best academic and student support services to help each Husky student-athlete
become a winner in the classroom, in competition, and in life!
Our Mission
Our mission is to assist each student-athlete in reaching his/her maximum potential
in their educational, personal, social, and career pursuits, and to assist them
in preparing for life after college. We provide a comprehensive four or five year
development plan for each student-athlete which includes specific goals in the areas
of academic success, social & personal development, career development and placement
and community service.
SAAS Services
SAAS consists of academic counseling, academic coordination, a comprehensive tutorial
program, learning resources and assistance for students with learning disabilities,
a study skills program for all students, a comprehensive Life Skills program, and
leadership and mentoring opportunities. We focus on the needs of each individual
student-athlete and develop an individualized program to meet those needs. Opportunities
for leadership, community service, and mentoring are available through a variety
of programs and annual events.
