Welcome to the Built4Life Student Academic Center!
Starting college is a huge milestone, and we’re thrilled to help you start the next part of your journey! Whether you're a new freshman, a seasoned transfer, or a returning athlete ready to crush another year at the Y, we know that stepping into college life can feel like a whirlwind. New classes, new faces, new routines—it’s a lot. But guess what? You’ve got this! The Built4Life Student Athletic Center is here to be your home base, your support system, and your launchpad for success.
What is the Built4Life Student Athletic Center?
The SAB, or Student Athletic Building, is more than just another building on campus: it’s a space built for you. Designed specifically with student-athletes in mind, the SAB is packed with quiet study rooms, classrooms, and collaborative spaces where you can focus, prep for exams, or even host a Kahoot with your teammates and friends. TAs often hold review sessions here, so visit often. Those sessions can make or break the difference when it comes to acing your tests.
And let’s talk about our incredible staff. From academic advisors to sport-specific support, they’re here to guide you through every twist and turn of your college experience. If you’ve received an email from your advisor, don’t hesitate to reach out. They’re not just here to help you, they’re here to champion you.
