The Success in Sport Panel featured program graduates and friends of the program who shared their experience working in the sport industry. Each panelist provided a personal account of what it takes to be a successful professional, and the final portion of the panel is one-on-one time for students with the panelists and other alumni who attend. The Success in Sport Panel was merged with the Speaker Series in fall 2022.
