LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV’s Janelle Nguyen, a rising senior on the Rebels’ swimming and diving squad, is one of 200 student-athletes that has been invited to participate in the NCAA Career in Sports Forum, hosted at the organization’s headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind.

The 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. Nguyen and her fellow student-athletes at the event will hear from a variety of speakers and panelists during large, general sessions, while there will also be opportunities to engage with her peers as well in small group discussions.

“I’m excited about this opportunity to meet and network with other career professionals and the student-athletes at the forum,” said Nguyen. “I’m also not only looking forward to what I can learn during my time there, but also what I can bring back from it to pass along to my fellow teammates and peers in SAAC (Student Athletic Advisory Committee).”

In order to be eligible be selected to the forum, student-athletes needed to be in their junior or senior year and be nominated by their school’s athletic department, before the NCAA then selects the final 200 participants.
