History Of The Bratzke Student - Athlete Academic Success Center
The Bratzke Center in the Alumni Coliseum opened in June of 2000 after the generous donation given by its benefactor, Chad Bratzke.
Bratzke was a walk-on to the EKU football team and went on to achieve success in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. The former EKU All-American, Bratzke earned many academic honors while at EKU including: Colonel Scholar, Presidential Scholar and OVC Commissioners Honor Roll. The Center was dedicated in June of 2000 with Bratzke, his wife Kristi and Coach Roy Kidd in attendance.
The Bratzke Center is designed to aid EKU's student-athletes in all facets of their academic pursuits. Our goal is for student-athletes at EKU to have a great athletic as well as academic experience, and graduate with Colonel pride!
The over 3000 square foot Bratzke Center has grown over the years to include a tutoring center, 34 station computer lab, academic advising office suite, as well as a classroom and quiet study area.
Student-Athletes use the center for studying, requesting and meeting with student tutors, checking their email, or stopping by for advising.
The professional staff is trained and dedicated to work with student-athletes in advising, class scheduling, monitoring academic progress, and assisting student-athletes with academic success strategies.
