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!

This webinar from February 2020 featured presenters who all have been student assistants and who now work in athletics. The presenters shared 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 talked about our 2020 CoSIDA U Camp for interested students, interns and newcomers to the profession.

Goodwill To All Men and Women - Dealing with Holiday Demands and Your Wellness
Tuesday, December 17, 2019
The presenters, all members of CoSIDA's Goodwill and Wellness Committee, discussed taking care of yourself through the stressors of the holiday season and the demands of winter sports competition and job responsibilities and the wellness (mental/physical/emotional) issues facing us during the holidays where SIDs might not be able to carve out lots of down time yet have family and friend holiday activities that you want to join. How do you make it all work and make sure to enter 2020 a bit refreshed? They also talked about the committee's upcoming projects and initiatives - a 10-week fitness challenge this spring for CoSIDA members, the annual CoSIDA/NACDA convention 5k run/walk, and the on-site plans for CoSIDA's annual convention community service project.
