BOSTON - Northeastern director of athletics Peter Roby has announced the promotion of Eric Nepomuceno to the position of associate athletic director for compliance and enrollment services. Nepomuceno, who arrived at Northeastern in September 2012, will continue to oversee NCAA compliance and student-athlete enrollment and serve as the sport supervisor for volleyball and baseball.
 
"Working at Northeastern for the last four years has been a fruitful professional experience," Nepomuceno said. "It's been great to work under the tutelage of Peter Roby and Regina Sullivan. Both of them have given me opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways and have also provided me with the resources needed to succeed."
 
During his time on Huntington Avenue, Nepomuceno formed the Student-Athlete Welfare Advancement Team (S.W.A.T.), which aims to promote a positive student-athlete experience on campus, started a formal NCAA Compliance co-op with the NU law school and is a proponent of providing Northeastern's student-athletes with global experiences. Last year, he was appointed as a member of the NCAA Division I Initial Eligibility Waivers Committee, and also serves as the co-chair for Northeastern's Gender Equity committee.
 
Before he joined the Northeastern staff, Nepomuceno spent three years at Stony Brook University as the coordinator of eligibility and recruiting. Prior to his time as Stony Brook, he worked as a pro personnel assistant for the New York Jets.
 
The Queens, New York native attended the University of Michigan where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in sports management and communication. He received his Juris Doctor from Loyola University Law School in New Orleans.
 
"I'm thankful for this opportunity and look forward to guiding the Northeastern compliance department through the ever-evolving NCAA landscape," Nepomuceno said.
