Abstract
Student-Athletes create a unique population on any campus. After reflecting on the impact Joe Paterno had on his football players, this author believes that all student-athletes should be served in this same way. This author argues that student affairs professionals should be creating a wel- coming and caring environment for the student- athletes, removing the stigmas and stereotypes surrounding student-athletes on college cam- puses, collaborating with offices across campus, and holding student-athletes accountable for their actions on the field and off to best serve this community.
