Varney, Laube selected to attend NCAA Career in Sports Forum

INDIANAPOLIS – Bryant University women's track & field senior Rebecca Varney (East Longmeadow, Mass.) and football junior Jordan Laube (Westhampton Beach, N.Y.) have been selected to participate in the NCAA Career in Sports Forum, to be held May 31-June 3 at the NCAA national office.

Varney and Laube are two of just 200 student-athletes nationally across all divisions to be selected for the prestigious event, an annual educational forum hosted by the NCAA that brings together student-athletes to learn and explore potential careers in sports with the primary focus on college athletics.

This unique, four-day forum is designed to assist student-athletes in charting their career paths as well as provide an opportunity to network and learn from current athletics professionals.

The cutting-edge topics covered by industry experts include: how personal values intersect with career opportunities, how behavioral styles impact individual effectiveness, the key professional and career development information to assist with transition from a student-athlete to a professional, and the role of the college coach or athletics administrator. Participants will network with peers as well as key decision-makers at the campus, conference and national level of college athletics.

Varney graduated last weekend with a degree in Business Administration: Management, a minor in Legal Studies and concentration in Sports Studies. Laube is a junior Applied Economics major with minors in Communications and Management.
