Overview | Staff | Athletic Advising | Academic Center for Excellence

The goal of Student Development for Athletes (SDA) is to provide a comprehensive support program for all student-athletes at Montclair State University that promotes academic success, a positive athletic experience and overall personal growth. The student-athletes at Montclair receive personal attention from the Student Development for Athletes staff in order to provide the student-athletes the opportunity “to help athletes help themselves” by linking the academic and the athletic community. The staff at SDA works closely with coaches, faculty, and student services on campus to help student-athletes balance the demands of their academic responsibilities and participation in athletics.

SDA encompasses two areas, Athletic Advising and NCAA Student Athlete Affairs. Student-Athletes have the benefit of working with their Athletic Advisors to provide extra support during their academic and athletic careers. In addition, student-athletes can become involved in the programs offered through Student Athlete Affairs, such as our TALON, community service projects, guest speaking events, student athlete career nights and many more.
