As an athlete, I am fortunate enough to have an academic advisor appointed to me. I get to meet with my advisor, Travis Ballard, once a week and I have already seen him twice this week to discuss my major and my schedule for next semester. Travis is very on top of things. He makes sure I am keeping up with all of my work in my classes. He notifies me when I have upcoming tests and assignments. Lastly, he makes sure that I am balancing school and golf, while also making sure that I am enjoying myself. Without Travis, I would be completely lost in this hectic college world!

That’s great Sam! I’m glad we both have the same academic advisor, Travis Ballard. He really is always on top of things and helps us a lot with keeping up with assignments. It has been very nice as an athlete to have an advisor there just for you to help with scheduling and everything. They all are trained very well and know how to communicate well with athletes! What’s great about Travis as well is that he was a college athlete himself, so he knows what we’re going through right now and can provide some very helpful advise. We are very thankful for Travis!
