About the Book

Changes in society, the labor market, and the economy mean that a bachelor's degree is no longer sufficient to ensure meaningful employment after graduation. Student-athletes graduate at a high rate thanks to a rigorous set of standards and accountability by institutions and the NCAA. Employers seek both experience and defined competencies that are best developed during a four year, intentional preparation process that is not the norm and is time consuming. Though they develop important non-cognitive skills that employers week, student-athletes generally have spent less time and effort preparing for their transition from student to professional identity than their non-athlete peers. Their commitment to athletics and academics restricts the time and energy they have available for traditional "opt in" vocational counseling and experiential learning available on campuses. The solution requires redesign of the "advising" model to incorporate the same kind of post-graduation preparation and requirements that are in place for academic progress. The UC Davis Student-Athlete Outcomes Solution ("aka the Aggie EVO System") expands the role of advisors to include guidance and accountability to help student-athletes move along an integrated path of both academic and vocational preparation, accumulating concrete skills, knowledge of the working world, critical professional tools, and experiential learning. The Aggie EVO System includes full accountability of coaches for student-athlete participation and completion of requirements and engagement with alumni, who are given the opportunity to share time and talent as they build relationships with current Aggies. We believe this approach will improve outcomes/placement, solidify our mission and place within the institution as a legitimate model for innovation in education and development, and connect with potential donors in a way that will ultimately encourage greater philanthropy.Because our mission is to impact the college athletics industry writ large, all of our work has been done with an eye towards scaling this approach to any institution, of any size, with any amount of resources. We are also hopeful that the lessons we have learned will be applied within higher education contexts beyond athletics in order to help all students better prepare for life beyond graduation - launch!
