We host speaker events where we invite respected industry professionals from around the area to come in and talk to us about their personal experiences.
 
After these meetings, students have the opportunity to talk with speakers one-on-one and build their network.
 
 

Networking Events

In the past we work to host a panel of 10-12 experts in the sports industry. Here, they come in to speak to us and answer questions, and following, we open it up to a networking session.
