How does the faculty work with student-athletes when they miss classes for competitions?
Professors at Stanford are very supportive of student-athletes. Many Stanford students have special skills and talents that take them away from the classroom. Professors are accustomed to working with students and their schedules to ensure success in the classroom. Whether that means faxing lecture notes while the team is on the road or offering an early midterm if the team has a competition, professors have the utmost respect for student-athletes and can often be found at our home meets cheering on the Cardinal!
