Academic Counselor for Athletics Karie Hannigan plays an important role in the off-field success of Crush student-athletes. She continues to be impressed by the achievements of her student-athletes.

"I am so proud of our student-athletes for being dedicated to their academic achievement while balancing school with the demands of their sport, jobs, and other personal responsibilities, Hannigan said.

"Great things can happen when you set goals, work hard, persevere, complete your grade checks for Crush Academy, and take advantage of all the support services offered at CCC. Keep Crushing It!"
