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?
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. 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!
