BASE Opportunities for Partnership

BASE ( Beyond Academic Support Excellence) is a new program with multiple objectives supporting both students and the whole university. It seeks to raise funds through Naming Partners to obtain advanced technology to help student athletes remain completive in the classroom while traveling with the team. It also works with former athletes through the Varsity Club to provide current student athletes with “continuous mentoring” going beyond their time at North Carolina State University. Finally the program seeks a culture change for former athletes to relate to NC State in a service mentality and to assist in improving NC State’s sportsmanship image by encouraging all fans to adopt the sportsmanship pledge signed by all student athletes.
