This four-day forum is designed to help student-athletes in charting their career paths, as well as provide an opportunity to network and learn from current athletics professionals.
Rahrich is a Psychology major and will be a senior this upcoming year. On the field, the Brighton, Colorado native has led the team in the circle and at the plate.
