How Student-Athletes Can Bettter Market Themselves

 

 

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Emory student athletes and coaches have a firm belief in being active and visible throughout the greater Atlanta area with each intercollegiate squad taking part in at least one community service project per year.  These service outreach programs allow the Emory athletic department to develop positive and productive relationships with those outside the university as well as provide the opportunity for those involved to learn from one another.  

 

 

The community outreach from the athletic department is part of  Emory's overall commitment to service with other opportunites to become involved availabe through The Office of University-Community Partnerships, which connects community organizations to Emory faculty, staff, and students who can assist them in addressing in specific need.

Another resource available for those who wish to give of their time is Volunteer Emory, founded in 1980 by Emory undergraduates, collaborates with agents of change for service projects and social justice work that promote learning about self and society.  Volunteer Emory facilitates service opportunities for Emory students, faculty, staff and alumni.

Our student-athletes engage in community service projects with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Special Olympics, Atlanta Food Bank and Habitat For Humanity.

 

 

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Student Health and Counseling Services empowers students to take responsibility for their health and to complement the academic mission of the university by providing unified medical, counseling and health promotion services that result in a healthy campus culture.  Student Health and Counseling Services provides professional clinical services.

The Office of Health Promotion at Emory University is devoted to engaging students in the work of creating a healthier campus, building an individual capacity and advocating for students in times of crisis. This is done in a variety of ways, from the individual level all the way to changing culture. Specifically, the Office of Health Promotion contributes to Emory students' success in and out of the classroom by providing:

  • Population-level health promotion resources
  • Healthy skill-building consultations
  • Group education interventions to promote health and reduce risk
  • A Healthy Campus Coalition to foster collective action
  • Mentoring for future public health professionals
  • Training programs for campus leaders to enhance the community of care at Emory
The Office of Health Promotion recognizes the value of sleep and the role that it plays in the day-to-day functioning in one's life.

PLAY EMORY

The mission of Play Emory is to provide an academic and recreational health and wellness program through physical activity that enables the campus community to increase its physical, mental and emotional health and engage in the creation of skills to ensure long term healthy behaviors and professional success.   Play Emory will serve as a unifying catalyst for Healthy Emory and equip Emory students, staff and faculty with safe, supportive and educational strategies to transform their lives.

 



RESIDENCE LIFE

Residence Life at Emory believes learning that occurs outside of the classroom can often be as valuable as learning that takes place in an academic setting.  Experiences outside the classroom include developing close relationships with diverse individuals, enhancing leadership skills, assuming personal responsibility, enriching spiritual skills, building character and discipline, and forming a genuine acceptance of the many races, cultures, religions, and nationalities that comprise the academic community at Emory.  Residence Life is a student-focused resource committed to innovation, education, and development.

LEADERSHIP

Resources provided through Leadership Development support student-athletes to become effective leaders at Emory and beyond.  The Leadership Emory program teaches common elements of leadership that emphasize the important link between ethical leadership and civic engagement.
