In 2023, Dr. Summer Jackson was named Cal State East Bay's Faculty Athletic Representative.

"I ensure that our athletic program adheres to the NCAA rules and regulations and I advocate for the well-being and academic success of our student-athletes. The role is a natural extension of my own history as an athlete. Having benefited from the opportunities that athletics provided in my life, I understand the unique challenges and rewards that come from being a student-athlete. I'm very passionate about supporting our athletes in achieving their potential athletically and academically, just as I was supported.”
Growing up in Sequim, Washington, Jackson was inducted into the Sequim Hall of Fame's Inaugural Class of 2024 for her swimming achievements.
Jackson went on to swim for the University of Arkansas.
