The University Athletic Department and Career Athletes have recently agreed to a partnership providing Grand View University student-athletes a truly unique resource for career development.
Over the past 10 years, Career Athletes has conducted over 800 training and development seminars at universities throughout the country providing much needed career education for over 250,000 student-athletes. In addition to their proprietary training and development seminars, Career Athletes builds and maintains customized career networking web sites for individual university athletic departments providing additional career education, mentors, access to career opportunities and potential employers upon graduation, and a platform to connect with athletic alumni who are encouraged to join the network as mentors and/or job seekers.
"It's obvious that the administration at Grand View University cares about its student-athletes beyond their playing days and graduation, and we are excited to be partnered with such an outstanding institution," said Chris Smith CEO and President of Career Athletes. "Due to the demanding nature of collegiate athletics, these athletes face a unique set of challenges regarding career development not typically experienced by the general student-body. The current economic environment will provide even greater challenges for today's student-athletes to overcome, making career development more important than ever."

The Grand View University baseball and softball teams came together for a Champions of Character event to donate gifts to senior citizens this holiday season. The head coaches from both teams (Lou Yacinich Sr. & Lou Yacinich Jr.) met with Anne Peters, owner of Home Instead Senior Care, and were given ornaments with names of the senior citizens and a gift they were hoping to get this season. The head coaches passed the ornaments out to players from both teams and on December 2nd participated in a gift-giving assembly in between the men and women's basketball games. This program was called Santas for Seniors and the Grand View baseball and softball teams donated over 100 gifts altogether. The gifts go directly to seniors in the Central Iowa area.
