STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Through our Careers in Education and Advocacy panel, student-athletes were connected with professionals from the Secret Service, child welfare, law, education, coaching, and other careers focused on community impact. The evening began with dinner and a networking icebreaker before transitioning into a panel discussion, where professionals shared personal stories, career advice, advice on leveraging the student-athlete experience and building professional networks.

The evening concluded with an open Q&A and networking session, fostering the opportunity to form connections and gain valuable guidance for futures beyond sport.
