What is Becoming?
Tigers BECOMING is a comprehensive student-athlete development program designed with three core pillars in mind: personal growth, career preparation, and community engagement. Its mission is to empower leaders, engage community, equip professionals, and encourage student-athletes as they emerge in excellence. The program consists of classification-specific elements for freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and transfers. Year one focuses on empowering leaders, year two on engaging the community, and year three on equipping student-athletes with specialized knowledge. Finally, in year four, we prepare students to emerge in excellence as they transition to their professional pursuits.
Additionally, with groundbreaking opportunities now available for Tiger student-athletes to market their name, image, and likeness (NIL), the Tigers BECOMING program seeks to provide student-athletes with the tools to manage and enhance their personal brands.
