Jim Grose was named as Susquehanna University's head men's and women's rowing coach in August 2008. Grose has been an assistant coach for Susquehanna men's and women's rowing since 2004.

He has competed in, coached in and been an administrator for the Central Pennsylvania Rowing Association. Grose's membership in the association ran from 2002 to 2007. In 2007, he was the vice president of the association's board of directors. At various times, he was also the chairman of the association's Learn to Row and equipment committees. He is a member of USRowing and holds a Level I Coaching Certificate from that organization.

"Coach Grose has been a significant contributor to our rowing programs and the growth of our student-athletes," said Susquehanna director of athletics Pam Samuelson. "His continued involvement with the teams is very exciting as those programs try to take another step forward to even higher levels of success."

Grose is currently a professional land surveyor and a sewage enforcement officer for both the Snyder County Sewage Code Enforcement Committee and the Central Keystone Council of Governments, in addition to various other municipalities in Snyder and Union counties.

Men's and women's rowing are club, or non-varsity, sports teams at Susquehanna. They have enjoyed much success in the past and regularly compete against other colleges and universities.
