ROCHESTER, Mich. - Oakland University's Department of Athletics has announced a new partnership with Evolution Sports Partners (ESP) to implement SA360, a revolutionary program to drive student-athlete success. The program adds another resource for student-athletes that engages them in critical success information and is available on their tablets and smartphones.

"In our efforts to improve student-athlete well-being, we felt this partnership was very important in accomplishing that goal," said Director of Athletics Jeff Konya. "ESP is on the cutting edge of student-athlete experience and provides us with a tool for important feedback, as well as an opportunity for our student-athletes to seek assistance in a magnitude of key issues."

SA360 immerses student-athletes in highly engaging, relevant information, tools and resources designed to help them succeed academically, athletically and personally, while providing athletic departments, advisors and coaches with the information they need to respond and support student-athletes. The program consists of quick reads on important success topics, pulse surveys, self-tests and real life scenario heuristics, Expertalks^TM and more.

"My partners and I formed ESP to drive academic and business results in the world of Intercollegiate Athletics," said Peter Kraft, Founder and Managing Director of ESP. "Our team delivers highly specialized solutions that help student-athletes and athletic departments achieve their greatest potential. Oakland is extremely forward-thinking in their approach and strategy for continuously addressing student-athlete success, and we're excited to put SA360 to work at this great institution."
