Simpson College STORM

CHAMPS Mentors

As a component of the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, Simpson has already established a mentor program for our first-year student-athletes. This program is another initiative to help provide the necessary support for new student athletes to grow and thrive in their college surroundings. Throughout the first semester, this program will provide opportunities for new student-athletes to learn about Simpson resources, share in recreational and cultural activities, meet other students and explore numerous opportunities to " get connected " with campus and community.

With recommendations from coaches and staff, the athletic department selected 34 upper-class student-athlete CHAMPS mentors from all sports to lead this initiative. In addition to providing support, CHAMPS mentors are also liaisons between students and various departments on campus. CHAMPS mentors provide support and act as a resource to first-year student-athletes to enhance their transition to college, which will foster a sense of community among those in athletics, promote student involvement, and oversee student success and development in their academic, social and personal endeavors. These 34 CHAMPS mentors have proven leadership, great communication skills and overall academic success in their collegiate careers at Simpson. With thorough leadership training their first week on campus, and a ratio of one mentor to eight student-athletes, CHAMPS mentors meet on a weekly basis to guide new student-athletes through their first semester of college.
