PAE – Partners for Academic Excellence

Co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Advising Program(UAP) and the Athletic Department, PAE II assists Stanford stu-dent-athletes in managing their demanding schedules and inutilizing their limited free time efficiently to ensure academicexcellence. (PAE II is one of five program’s co-sponsored byUAP and other campus departments). By grouping several stu-dent-athletes together from different sports based on a similarpreliminary academic interest, the PAE program focuses on cre-ating an academic community for specific first-year students.Each group has an undergraduate mentor and a graduate stu-dent mentor, which are likely to be current and former student-athletes. During the autumn quarter, PAE participants meetweekly as a study group to assist with the transition from highschool to university study. In the winter, the groups moreactively explore academics resources. Dinners with facultymembers and Stanford alums who may share an academic orcareer interest are also part of the program. Freshmen have theopportunity, in a relaxed informal setting, to meet and talk withfaculty who may otherwise be hard to approach. First-year stu-dent-athletes have the option of earning one-unit of academiccredit for participation in the PAE program by completing aPassport which encourages students to go to professor’s officehours, visit academic departments, and other universityresources that will be beneficial to their Stanford career.
