Calling all athletic communications/sports information student assistants, undergraduate and graduate, and all other students and student-athletes who might be interested in exploring a career in athletics and athletic communications! Is that you? Or, are you a student majoring in athletic administration/sports management wondering about a career in athletic communications and what they would be all about?
Join us for this webinar (FREE, and open to everyone) to hear more from our presenters - all who have been student assistants and who now work in athletics. The presenters will share tips and advice on how to distinguish yourself as a new professional, why volunteering for athletic events is a 'must-do" - and how to get noticed for that next step in building your career!
We also will let you know about our 2020 CoSIDA U Camp for interested students, interns and newcomers to the profession. This takes place Saturday and Sunday, June 6-7 at the Mandalay Bay Resort, Las Vegas - the day before, and the first day of, our 2020 CoSIDA Convention. It's going to be a great networking and learning event!
