The C.A.T.S. Lifeskills Program
(Committed to Academics, Teamwork and Service)

CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Academic Services encourages student-athletes to develop and pursue career and life goals. To this end, Academic Services has teamed up with University Career Services (UCS). Together, we have developed workshops and resources, and provide individual assistance to best serve this goal.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
The community service program provides student-athletes with the opportunity to assist others in Evanston and the surrounding area. Some of the volunteer opportunities include tutoring/mentoring children, reading to elementary classes, and programs for senior citizens.
Academic Services often receives job postings for full-time and part-time positions, in addition to internships and summer jobs.

The jobs are posted to the listserv and are available in binders located in Academic Services. Student-athletes are also encouraged to check the postings on the UCS web site.

The C.A.T.S. Lifeskills Program focuses on five major components- academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, community service and career development. The C.A.T.S. program provides student-athletes with choices and opportunities to assist them in maximizing their experiences in the classroom, on the playing field, and within the community.

Academic Services' Workshop topics include The Freshman Introduction, Finding an Internship, Finding a Summer Job, and Senior Resumes.

If you are interested in volunteering in the community, please see Betsi in Academic Services.
ALL COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES MUST BE PRE-APPROVED BY ACADEMIC SERVICES AND THE COMPLIANCE OFFICE.
If you are a company interested in hiring student-athletes, please see our Prospective Employer Page.
