Ranger of the Week: Emma Kramer

Since fall of 2018, Parkside Athletics has brought in graduate assistants to gain experience in the world of college athletics while earning their master’s degree. The graduate assistants over the years have been a huge part of making Parkside Athletics the way it is today, and the group just gets larger and larger! This upcoming fall, Parkside Athletics are bringing in nine new faces to the graduate assistant family! We would like to recognize those nine graduate assistants starting with Emma Kramer who will be stepping into the role of an External Relations Graduate Assistant working directly with Jake Sutter (Assistant AD of Advancement & Partnerships). Emma is this week’s Kenosha.com Ranger of the Week!

Kramer is going to be a great addition to the External Relations team at Parkside. She will be working closely with sponsorship fulfillment, partnerships, and ticket sales. Kramer recently graduated from Simon Fraser University with a bachelor’s in art majoring in Criminology and Minoring in Psychology. She played four years of women’s basketball for the McFogg’s and was just admitted into the NCAA Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, along with Parkside men’s golf student-athlete Tanner Olson.
