 Jim Weaver

Jim WeaverI have been an academic counselor with Penn State for a number of years. Having the opportunity to work at an institution with such a tremendous commitment to academic and athletic excellence makes my job very enjoyable. I find it especially rewarding to help PSU student-athletes grow and develop in and out of the classroom. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, coaching youth sports and attending athletic events.

The focus is on developing strategies and coping skills to deal with life after sport. This can often be a very emotional and difficult time for student-athletes.
