Dray, from Lynchburg, Va., is majoring in business administration. She hopes to work in sports marketing after graduation.

This year's forum, scheduled for late May, will take place virtually and include speakers on a wide variety of topics including self-awareness and its role in professional development; practical approaches to the sports job search; personal branding; and developing a career plan. Through panels, breakout sessions, presentations and discussions, program participants will gain a thorough understanding of athletics as a career path.
