Yvette Crick joined the Student-Athlete Services staff in February of 2018 as a Learning Specialist providing essential learning strategies and individualized academic support for under prepared student-athletes with a focus on mentorship, development of study skills and building learning habits that will enhance student success. Crick's strength in building relationships and developing connections with student-athletes on a personal level allows for open discussions about not only their learning styles, but also their family backgrounds that have impacted their educational decisions. Crick currently works with at-risk football student athletes and other Olympic sports athletes in promoting student accountability alongside our academic support staff and coaching staff members. She also serves as the Athletic Academic Advisor for the Women’s Golf program.
