Center for Student-Athlete Enhancement (CSAE)

Mission Statement

The mission of the Center for Student-Athlete Enhancement is to provide opportunities for student-athletes to achieve success during their time at Marist, as well as after their playing careers are complete.  The Center for Student-Athlete Enhancement provides academic advising, tutoring, and personal and leadership development to the student-athlete population at Marist College.  In addition, the office monitors the academic progress and NCAA eligibility of each student-athlete.  

Intercollegiate competition is a rewarding extracurricular activity that can add a special dimension to a student's life. 
The student-athlete at Marist can utilize its academic support programs, with CSAE staff helping to ensure that student-athletes successfully balance their commitment of academics and athletics. 

Director for Student-Athlete Enhancement, Alyssa Gates and her staff provide student-athletes with academic support through various means, including academic advisors, tutors, and study facilities, which help the student-athlete to not only be successful in the classroom but also prepare them to be successful long after their playing careers are complete.

"I most enjoy the daily interaction with the student-athletes," says Gates. "Our program helps the athletes help themselves. One of the most rewarding parts of the job is to watch them develop the necessary skills to allow them to succeed both in and out of the classroom." 

Gates and her staff play a vital role in the student-athlete's career at Marist from the time that each person steps on the Hudson River Campus until each student walks at commencement, both in and out of the classroom.

CSAE provides the Marist student-athletes with a venue in which to pursue academic and life skills. CSAE offers a computer lab with access to research databases as well as other necessary applications for coursework. Student-athletes also have access to two individual tutoring rooms to accommodate their needs.
