Center for Student-Athlete Services

Bickerstaff Center for Student-Athlete Academic Services (BAC)

Formerly known as the Center for Student-Athlete Services, the Bickerstaff Academic Center (BAC) for Student-Athletes is a unique and important asset in the lives of Long Beach State 49er student-athletes. Thanks to the generosity of the Bickerstaff family, the BAC opened in July 2006.

The purpose of BAC is to provide academic services to Long Beach State's student-athlete population. This includes advising to ensure that each student-athlete is enrolled in appropriate courses so that they may earn their degree while maintaining their athletic eligibility. BAC is geared to maximize student-athletes' chances for classroom success through a developmental advising program integrating academic, student and athletic assistance.

Under the direction of Gayle Fenton, BAC is staffed with full and part-time professional academic counselors and peer advisors who are assigned to academically assist specified teams. The BAC staff is available on both drop-in and also appointment basis throughout the calendar year.
