Lafayette Student-Athlete Development is dedicated to the academic, personal, and professional development of student-athletes. The LEAP FORWARD program fosters proactive growth and a championship culture through purposeful programming, strategic partnerships, and practical education.
Our philosophy is comprehensive in nature, however it's dedicated to assisting student-athletes on a year-to-year basis and provides the foundation to creating a championship student-athlete. With support from Lafayette College, the athletic department, and other constituents, student-athletes will receive support, education, and programming from the time they transition to Lafayette College till the day they receive a diploma.
A program dedicated to equip student-athletes with the foundation needed to excel as champions on and off the field of play. LEAP FORWARD is built on the foundation of PARD-2-PARD connections - broken up into four pillars of success; academic excellence, personal enhancement, professional development, and championship culture. These pillars signified the many strengths, initiatives, and experiences student-athletes were already receiving at Lafayette College.
