Additionally, Evans provides leadership for the Resnick Center's Academic Mentoring program that had a direct impact on student-athletes earning a departmental GPA of 3.2 in the spring term.
"I have been passionate about working with student-athletes since 2003," said Evans, "when I started my career in student-athlete academic support as an intern at the University of Massachusetts.
