Andy Cripe has had as big of an impact with Northwood University student-athletes as anyone in the history of the athletic department over a span of more than 25 years. He arrived at Northwood in January of 1996 as the head athletic trainer, a position he would hold for 19 years.  The longest-serving head athletic trainer in Northwood history, Cripe had a sterling reputation for his dedication and his passion for athletics. He continues to be a big part of Northwood Athletics in his role of Dean of Students, a role he took over in January of 2015. Above all, Cripe has been a tireless worker and supporter of Northwood students and athletes over his entire career.
