The University of Louisville's Cardinal Life Skills Program is an all-encompassing program that wraps itself around the individual during his/her collegiate career and serves as a link between the student-athlete and the campus-wide opportunities they often have difficulty accessing due to their commitments as a student-athlete. This program is supported by the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills (CHallenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success) Program.
Our mission is to provide programming, in conjunction with established university systems, which encourages student-athletes to further enhance themselves academically, athletically, and emotionally. The program aims to afford each student-athlete the opportunity to discover and develop his/her strengths, values, goals, and vision as an individual, focusing on the well being of the whole person, not just the student or the athlete.
The Cardinal Life Skills Program consists of five vital commitments to our student-athletes: Academic Excellence, Personal Development, Community Service, Career Development, and Athletic Excellence. Through these five commitments, the University of Louisville seeks to assist student-athletes in developing the necessary "life skills" to lead productive lives, and become leaders and contributors in their biggest game: the game of life.
The Cardinal Life Skills Matrix provides students-athletes with an overview of the programming opportunities that are available to them throughout their journey as a Louisville Cardinal.
