Freshman Athletic Leadership Themed Community (TC)
Student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in an Athletic Leadership TC, which will be a housing arrangement during their first year at Utah. This housing community will expose student-athletes to four major components of student life – Community Engagement, Honors, Technology Initiatives and Health/Wellness. The goal of the TC is twofold. First, to integrate student-athletes to campus and expose them to diverse programming/opportunities that will continue through their experience at Utah. Second, to serve as ambassadors of Utah Athletics and to engage students with the hope of increasing general student involvement at athletics events.
Programming: Student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate leadership programming, in addition to cross programming with other TCs housed in the building. Each TC will have pillar events, and student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in these events and broaden their student-athlete experience.
