SHE CAN - Seton Hall University Athletics

INTRODUCING SETON HALL'S SHE CAN INITIATIVE

Seton Hall Athletics has hosted a spring SHE Can event in recent years to provide our female student athletes with tailored professional development and networking. Positive feedback from this single-day event has encouraged our staff to develop intentional programming aimed to support our female athletes throughout the entire academic year. After polling athletes, our survey results indicated our young women are interested in forming valuable professional connections, networking with young alumnae, building their soft skills and emotional intelligence, and visiting alumnae in their respective workplace environments. There is a true desire to learn more about the transition “after athletics” and learning how to leverage those transferrable skills into the workforce.

SHE Can's overall objective is to create and cultivate a community of strong, independent, and successful women who can serve as role models and build connections with our Seton Hall student-athletes. Not every interaction will, or is expected to lead to a career opportunity, but instead this community will help guide our athletes through an impressionable and transitional time in life and in their young careers. We hope to learn your stories, and to create a platform that builds community within our department, campus, and global footprint.

Included in the SHE Can initiative will be a newsletter that will spotlight women associated with Seton Hall Athletics. Sign up for this newsletter by emailing she.can@shu.edu.
