The goal of the Learning Enhancement & Academic
Program (LEAP) is to provide comprehensive
services for Michigan State University student-athletes.
LEAP houses the entire tutoring
program while providing a wide range of learning
services, including learning strategy, interventions,
mentor programming, context-based
tutorials, assistive technology and structured
study experiences.
The mission of the Multicultural Programs is
to provide student-athletes with cultural and
diversity experiences and opportunities to enhance
their professional growth, development
and leadership skills. The program will collaborate
with campus resources to elevate the academic
success and campus involvement of student-athletes.
The mission of the LIfe
Skills Program is to provide
a systematic personal
development program designed
to reach each student-athlete
based on his
or her individual needs.
The focus of the program
is on the individual as
a whole person — academically,
athletically and
emotionally — and on the
changing needs of that individual during college
and in the years after graduation.
MSU implements and expands on the vision of
the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program by using university
and community resources to provide studentathletes
with the best possible resources in the
following areas:
