Academic Team Captains Program

July 16, 2003 | General

By: UNC Athletic Communications

Selected student-athletes serve as Academic Team Captains, providing a link between the Academic Support Center and their respective teams. The individuals, who were nominated by their coaches based on academic success and leadership potential, participate in monthly leadership development workshops.

"Each year, the coaches select an extraordinary group of student-athletes with unlimited leadership potential," said Robert Mercer, director of the Academic Support Center. "We are excited about the opportunity these academic team captains have to provide academic leadership for their teams."
