June 02, 2015 | Rowing, Academic Services
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville rowing student-athlete Kylen Pattermann, who completed her collegiate career with the Cardinals last month, has been invited to the NCAA Career in Sports Forum in Indianapolis from June 4-7.
It is the sixth year that the NCAA extended invitations to current student-athletes and NCAA postgraduate scholarship recipients, with an interest in working within sports, to participate in the event in the organization's national office. Participants are viewed as leaders on their campuses and were nominated by athletics administrators at their respective schools.
A native of Elburn, Ill, Pattermann is a two-time Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar Athlete. On the water, Pattermann closed the 2015 season in Louisville's third varsity eight boat, which finished second at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship. As a junior, she rowed the Cardinals' second varsity eight crew, which finished second in the C final at the 2014 NCAA Championship.
"Supporting NCAA student-athlete leaders with their education is a key goal for the Association," Dr. Bernard Franklin, NCAA executive vice president of education and community engagement and chief inclusion officer, said. "Our Career in Sports Forum puts student-athletes and postgraduate scholarship recipients in a non-traditional academic setting where they can learn directly from successful leaders, which can have a positive impact on their future after graduation."
One of more than 20 annual programs and resources organized and directed by the NCAA leadership development department, the Career in Sports Forum provides college athletes with a broader scope of the career tracks available within the sports business, with the primary focus on college athletics. The forum provides student-athletes interactive experiences with successful individuals in the sports business and a peek into their day-to-day duties and responsibilities.
The NCAA leadership development department provides professional and personal development for the entire Association, including student-athletes, coaches and administrators, through accessible resources, strategic partnerships and annual customized programming at little or no cost to the membership.
