5/30/2017 1:19:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
Former Murray State student-athlete Scottie Ingram has been selected to participate in the 2017 NCAA Career in Sports Forum, June 1-4, held in Indianapolis.
For the eighth year, the NCAA is inviting more than 230 student-athletes all with an interest in working within the sports industry, to the Career in Sports Forum. Ingram was one of two selected from the Ohio Valley Conference.
Participants who expressed an interest in pursuing a career in sports, and who are viewed as leaders on their campus, were invited to apply to attend the forum after a nomination by athletics administrators at their respective schools. Many current and past attendees are members of their Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), the student-athlete voice within the NCAA governance structure. The selection committee is comprised of administrators and coaches within the NCAA, many former forum participants themselves.
Â
"Supporting NCAA student-athlete leaders with their education is a key goal for the Association," said Bernard Franklin, NCAA executive vice president of education and community engagement and chief inclusion officer. "Our Career in Sports Forum puts student-athletes, 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."Â
Â
Forum attendees will hear from various keynote speakers and panelists. The participants also learn best practices for gaining employment and gathering a better understanding of what future expectations will be once they get a job in sports.
Â
Ingram was a three-time OVC Player of the Year while with the Racers and helped lead MSU to three consecutive OVC championships and a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances. Ingram's 1,598 career kills are the most in program history.
