Jake Van Roekel is the Assistant Athletic Direcot for Academic Success, as he oversees all academic advisors and works directly with the football program, as well as swimming and diving, women's golf and women's tennis.
He meets regularly with student-athletes to monitor their academic progress, develop degree plans that fit their career goals, and build strong study habits and professional skills.
