Dr. Andrew Schroeder was named as the first director of the Center for Academic and Support Services for Student-Athletes in the summer of 2019.
Schroeder has a wealth of experience in both academic advising and his doctoral research focused on student-athletes. After earning his undergraduate degree in psychology at Bellarmine in 2004, Schroeder served as a residential counselor at Brooklawn Child and Family Services (now Uspiritus) for a year before returning to his alma mater as a graduate residential counselor. Since that time, he has served Bellarmine in a variety of roles primarily in the university's Student Success Center with his most recent appointment being the associate dean of academic advising.
In addition to holding a bachelor's degree, Schroeder earned a master's of education from the University of Louisville and successfully defended his dissertation in 2018 to earn his Ph.D. in Leadership in Higher Education from Bellarmine. His dissertation was titled "The Relationship Between Gender Role Conflict and Academic Progress Comparing Division II Male Student-Athletes to Male Non-Student-Athletes."
Dr. Schroeder lives in Louisville with his wife, Anne, and their four children.
