Hampton, Va. – The Hampton University Office of Athletic Academic Support unveiled its newly renovated Student-Athlete Professional Development Center today with a ribbon cutting ceremony that took place as part of the university’s High School Day.

“This new Student-Athlete Professional Development Center gives our student-athletes a conducive learning environment that will allow them to succeed academically, while also preparing them to enter the professional world,” added Hampton’s Assistant Director of Athletics for Student Services and Senior Woman Administrator Tianna Scott. “This would not have been possible without the support and resources provided by our visionary president Dr. William R. Harvey.”

In addition to the 18 brand new Dell computers, the Student-Athlete Professional Development Center will also assist student-athletes in areas such as class advisement, tutoring, interviewing skills, resume writing and career development. Various seminars will also be offered throughout the academic year, as well as information regarding scholarships, internships and graduate assistantships.
