Cal Poly Pomona Athletics

Scott Tsuji enters his 24th year with the Broncos Athletic Department in 2026-27. As the Assistant Athletics Director for Student Services, Tsuji manages the academic support program and services for Cal Poly Pomona’s 11 athletic teams with more than 250 student-athletes.

In his role at CPP, Tsuji oversees programs and initiatives that support the academic success of Cal Poly Pomona's student-athletes. He works closely with coaches, faculty, and support staff to coordinate academic advising, eligibility certification, and progress-toward-degree monitoring. Tsuji also assists with NCAA and CCAA compliance related to academic requirements while helping student-athletes navigate their collegiate experience both in and out of competition. His leadership plays a vital role in fostering a culture of academic achievement, personal growth, and holistic success within Bronco Athletics.

In terms of academic success, the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) continues to feature CPP in the All-Academic selection announcements. The 2025-26 CCAA All-Academic Award featured 133 Broncos, the most in Tsuji's tenure. It marked the second year in a row that 100 or more Broncos have been recognized for the award. Also in 2025-2026, Kevin Simeth of Men’s Basketball earned the CCAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.  Overall, CPP student-athletes have claimed this award eight times. He is very proud to be a part of an athletic program that succeeds in the classroom and on the field as evidenced by winning the past two CCAA Commissioner’s Cup and Director’s Cup Trophies in 2025-26 and 2024-25.

Tsuji was honored in 2009 with the Outstanding Advising Program and in 2005 with the Outstanding Academic Adviser Award from Cal Poly Pomona. He is active at the university and attends as many Cal Poly Pomona athletic events as he can to see the Broncos student-athletes excel on the field and in the classroom.

Tsuji manages the academic support program and services for the Bronco student-athletes and monitors their academic progress and course planning in relation to NCAA, CCAA and University requirements. He also provides assistance and resources for University policies and procedures, academic programs and other campus support services.

He also works closely with the Faculty Athletic Representative and Compliance Officer on NCAA rules, eligibility, compliance and maintaining academic integrity. He is in charge of compiling student-athlete and team academic honors and he meets with prospective student-athletes on recruiting visits.

He came to Cal Poly Pomona from Cal State Northridge, where he served as an Academic Adviser for the Liberal Studies Program and as an Athletics Adviser. He also spent time at the University of Michigan working at Yost Arena – the ice-hockey facility – and within its Sport and Facilities Management Program.

Tsuji earned his bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in counseling.
