Testimonials
I have had the pleasure of working directly with Tommy Jones during my four years as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan. Tommy served as more than an academic advisor for me, he was my life coach. He helped me explore my goals and led me in the right direction regarding career paths, my social and personal life, and academic life. He helped me manage my rigorous course load while playing division 1 volleyball at a high level and challenged me to really find my passion. His extensive resume with working with a variety of different student-athletes from various sports and faculty allowed him to connect me with other supportive faculty and administration. He consistently monitored my progress throughout every semester and encouraged me to take advantage of the resources that were available to me in order to achieve my academic goals. Tommy’s willingness to offer his own knowledge and advice from being a student-athlete himself really allowed me to trust him.
I am a first-generation college graduate and I owe this accomplishment to Tommy Jones and his endless effort to help me earn a degree from the #1 public university. You can always expect Tommy to have a positive attitude and be honest with you. He is a very passionate about his work and is an attentive listener. His academic advising was the key to my success, and I guarantee that you will be successful as well with the help of his guidance.

Tommy Jones has been the ultimate Career & Life Coach for me. I can honestly say if it wasn’t for God and Tommy I would not be where I am today. His ability to tell the hard truths, gently instruct, guide and help navigate people through tough situations is the best I have been around. I’m grateful and forever thankful for not only his coaching but mentorship as well. Tommy is truly an inspiration to me but not only me but to many lives that I have been fortunate to see his impact firsthand at the University of Michigan.

Tommy was a critical part of my success at The University of Michigan. He provided guidance, assistance, and accountability that allowed me to feel comfortable and prepared in the classroom and led to me graduating from UofM and eventually to my acceptance to graduate school at the University of Florida.
