BOSTON – Northeastern men's rowing head coach Alex Perkins is thrilled to announce the promotion of Trevor Appier to Associate Head Coach.

"I am excited to announce Trevor's promotion to Associate Head Coach," said Perkins. "Trevor has been with the program as both an athlete and a coach for many years and has done a tremendous job with the group. I know both myself and the team are excited for him to continue with the squad in his new role. Trevor has proven that he is a top-level recruiter and will take on a large role in that space. He is respected and trusted by parents and athletes alike and has proven to be an integral part of the team. I know we all look forward to his continued work with the program!"
