Andrew Van Craenenbroeck
Vice President
Andrew recently graduated from North Dakota State University where he worked as Student Manager for the Men's Basketball program. During that time, he was a part of two Summit League Championships.
Andrew's experience over the past four years have exposed him to high standards and an attention to detail that helped the program achieve success in a variety of ways. The 2019-20 season, NDSU reached one of the best records in the nation at 25-8. They ranked Top 10 for steal percentage (8th), turnover percentage (5th), free throw percentage (3rd), and offensive rebounding percentage (1st). These statistics represent some of the core values that both Andrew and NDSU possess.
