The University of Cincinnati Athletics Department has implemented a comprehensive model of student-athlete development, known as CPAWS (Cincinnati Promoting Athlete Wellness and Success). The developmental model focuses on the student-athlete’s academic, athletic, and personal development. CPAWS is our commitment to assist student-athletes to increase their quality of life and prepare them for a professional life after UC. A curriculum of programming is developed and analyzed on an annual basis by the CPAWS Advisory Board. In order for CPAWS to maximize student-athlete success in and out of sport, a collaborative effort of people and resources exists amongst athletics, the university, and the Cincinnati community.
