Â
The Faculty/Staff liaison program was instituted prior to the 2010 fall sports season and was established to show support to the student-athletes both in and out of the classroom, to create a greater presence of faculty and staff at athletic events and to provide a stronger connection between athletics and academics. In addition, the goal of the liaison program is to have each faculty mentor become a member of the team. Each liaison will be involved in a variety of team activities including: attending games, attending team meetings, providing academic advice for the student-athletes and encouraging colleagues to attend games.
For 2019-20, seven faculty members and 11 staff members have agreed to participate in the program and will be working with student-athletes across the Chargers' 17 intercollegiate athletic program.
