One of the most exhilarating sessions at the NCAA Convention each year is Career Connections, the Association’s annual job fair. More than 100 future athletics administrators are presently gathered in Nashville to take the next steps toward their future careers.

The energy that exudes from the young professionals is exciting – it reminds those of us who are already working in intercollegiate athletics that we are truly fortunate. There is a networking reception for the attendees tonight at 7, and meeting the newbies is one of the highlights of the week.
