Bowling Green, Ohio – Bowling Green State University Associate Athletics Director for Compliance and Student-Athlete Services Mark Shook has announced that Kerry Jones has been named the Director of Student-Athlete Services. Jones was most recently the Assistant Director of Student-Athlete Services and replaces Ashley Baker, who departed for the University of Georgia last month.
“Kerry has been a valuable staff member in the athletics department since her arrival here in 2008,” Shook said. “Her overall maturity, insight, intelligence and effort have impressed me with each opportunity she has had to make a positive impact on our student-athletes and staff. We look forward to the future of the Office of Student-Athlete Services with her leading our day-to-day academic support and life skills programming efforts.”
Jones has worked in higher education for the past 10 years in various capacities in student affairs, academic affairs and intercollegiate athletics. She became a doctoral graduate assistant in the student-athlete services department in 2008, when she was an academic coordinator, oversaw the tutoring program, and taught a student-athlete section of UNIV 1000 (now BGSU 1000).
Since that time, Jones was promoted to assistant director in Feb. of 2011 and took over the CHAMPS/Like Skills (now called Student-Athlete Affairs) program and served as the advisor for Student Athlete Advisory Committee. She has been a successful grant writer and has been an integral part of planning and coordinating the annual Athletics Honors Night. Prior to her time at BGSU, Jones held positions at Heidelberg College and Ashland University.
“I would like to thank the athletic administration for this leadership opportunity,” Jones said. “I look forward to continuing to serve the student-athletes with the academic support services and programming they need to be successful during their time at Bowling Green and after graduation.”
Jones earned her bachelors degree from Westminster College (Pa.) and received her masters degree from BGSU in college student personnel in 2004. She is currently in the dissertation phase of her doctoral program in higher education administration at BGSU with an expected graduation date of the summer of 2013.
