Karen Ercole

Ercole joined GW in 1991 and started as an academic advisor before being promoted to executive director for academic assistance in 2000. In that role, Karen oversaw all academic support services for more than 400 student-athletes. In 2011, Karen was again promoted to the role of Associate Athletics Director for Educational Support Services and Student-Athlete Development. She was also appointed as the department's SWA (senior woman administrator) and deputy Title IX coordinator. During her 24 year tenure, Karen oversaw several enhancements to the department including the addition of a student-athlete leadership academy and a fall orientation program for all student-athletes. In addition, Karen implemented the office of student-athlete development, which focuses on career readiness, leadership development, and community service initiatives. Karen's impact is truly immeasurable as she played such an important role in so many student-athletes' academic journey.
