Team Faculty Advisor Program
The Team Faculty Advisor Program at St. Mary's College of Maryland was created to involve faculty members in the education that takes place within the context of intercollegiate athletics. Each varsity team selects at least one team faculty advisor to join the team at practices, competitions, and other team functions in an effort to give the faculty member a deeper understanding of how participation in varsity athletics advances the mission of a liberal arts education.
The objectives:
- To offer student-athletes and faculty members the opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for the educational mission and application of intercollegiate athletics.
- To provide student-athletes with an additional opportunity to receive faculty mentoring.
- To allow faculty members to observe the level of increased responsibility that student-athletes must adopt to succeed in their parallel educational endeavors.
The list of Team Faculty Advisors and their respective teams may be found below.
