Curious about what Montana’s athletics academic advisors do for a living? One example: The Griz women’s golf team, which plays its championship season in the spring, had a department-best 3.41 grade point average this past semester thanks to the diligence of team advisor Jen Zellmer-Cuaresma.
“Jen has been the backbone for us,” said second-year UM golf coach Emily Milberger, whose team missed 13 days of class during the spring semester due to tournaments and travel. “She is always there to assist the players with any issue they come up against, so she is a large part of our academic success.”
It was a semester -- and full academic year -- of yeoman’s work for Zellmer-Cuaresma and former Griz soccer player Grace Harris, who is also an academic advisor. The other advisor position in their office has been unfilled for a year, which means Zellmer-Cuaresma and Harris have been doing the work of three.
