Navigating "The Real World" 101 with former UA basketball player Sam Thomas
Tuesday, September 17, 12-12:45 AZ time on Zoom
RSVP on Handshake: https://arizona.joinhandshake.com/edu/events/1546930
Event Description: My name is Sam Thomas and I am a former Women's basketball player at the U of A. I was able to continue my career in the WNBA and spend some time playing in Italy. I graduated with a degree in Psychology and a master's in educational leadership. I now work for a sports agency as a client service representative. Sports had been my entire life; entering "The Real World" seemed intimidating, but little did I know that I was already ahead of the game. Through sports, I have taken numerous etiquette classes, participated in mock job interviews, and created connections that have led me to my current job. I hope to help by giving as much advice/tips as possible about how important the little things are and what can help set you up for success post-graduation.
