TOM OXLEY ATHLETIC CENTER

Student-Athlete Center for Academic Excellence
Most importantly, the "Ox", as it is fondly called, houses the Student-Athlete Center for Academic Excellence (SACAE). The SACAE partners with the student-athletes, the FAU community, and the FAU Athletic Department to promote student learning and student success. The SACAE provides a center that supports and encourages holistic student development, focusing on the student-athlete's individual needs and goals. The SACAE's Academic Athletic Counselors consistently challenge student-athletes to develop positive academic, professional, and personal skills that are not only beneficial during their academic careers but also in their lives beyond college. Athletic Academic Counselors evaluate student-athletes individually and collaborate with the student-athletes to identify their specific needs and goals. In addition, the center provides tutors and mentors for the student-athletes each semester and full use of the computers and services located within the department. All FAU students are also welcome to use the computer study labs and classrooms located on the first floor.
Practice Fields
The Tom Oxley Football Practice Fields are located behind the Tom Oxley Athletic Center and feature two full-sized practice fields that are used for the Owls' booming football program. They are also utilized by many other FAU Athletics programs for strength and conditioning purposes. The field features a memorial dedicated to the initial program builders.
