The Indiana University Excellence Academy is the comprehensive personal development program of the Indiana University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics focused on the holistic development of the student-athletes at the institution. Through innovative and intentional programming and initiatives, IU student-athletes can develop a toolbox of skills and utilize resources designed to provide an exceptional college experience, including athletics, that will prepare them for an outstanding life experience, after athletics. The Excellence Academy complements the world-class academic support and athletic performance services to provide comprehensive personal development programs in six major areas to help prepare young men and women for great lives and success both in and after college: physical and mental wellness; nutrition services; elite-athlete development; leadership and life skills; service learning; and career development.
