R.I.S.E
R.I.S.E., our student-athlete development program, includes various life skills workshops to help with the holistic development of our student-athletes. These workshops help our students develop skills that will help them academically, in competition, and post-graduation, supporting our mission to graduate well-rounded individuals who are prepared for successful lives after their time here at Queens.
Mission: Dedicated to empowering student athletes to grow and develop holistically through career and leadership development, community service, and a focus on overall well-being.
Pillars:
- Responsibility: Understanding what it means to represent Queens as a student athlete by continuously practicing respect, accountability, and discipline to effectively balance the roles of both the student and the athlete
- Identity: Developing a holistic sense of self by becoming more self-aware, increasing emotional intelligence, understanding one’s core values, goals, strengths, and interests, while embracing one’s individual uniqueness.
- Service: Putting into practice the “not to be served, but to serve” mentality of Queens by being a part of something bigger than oneself.
- Empowerment: Learning self-advocacy as well as effective decision making and communication to help oneself reach their full potential in all areas of life.
