Student Athlete Success Center

The Carol and Denny Wedge Student Athlete Success Center (SASC) opened in January of 2009. SASC is a 10,000 square foot academic complex located in Houchens Smith Stadium (east side) and houses the academic advising staff, a computer laboratory and a large study area designated solely for use by student-athletes. The Student Athlete Success Center is also equipped with conference rooms, and several private study rooms for WKU student-athletes to meet with athletic tutors on a one-to-one basis or work on class projects.

The mission of the Student Athlete Success Center is to help student-athletes have the most positive educational and personal experience possible at WKU. The SASC advisement staff has over 50 years of combined experience. We strive to be the resource hub for WKU student-athletes to obtain success academically and in life after sports.
