Career Day & Club Meetings

Career Day is held each spring on the university campus. Our meetings consist of dinner and a well-known guest speaker.

Coach Gene Stallings, Coach Eddie Robinson and Randy Dempsey.

Past keynote speakers have included Colin Powell, Roger Staubach, Eddie Robinson and Gene Stallings. After the speaker the athletes are able to attend break-out sessions.

The break-out sessions are where athletes can learn more about various career paths with presentations and Q&A periods on a variety of job areas. Our Career Day is not a job fair -- it's a career path education center. For example, athletes can learn about careers in law enforcement, finance, business management, insurance, engineering, banking, sales, medical practice, etc.

The sessions will expose students to the type of work performed in these careers, and will help them understand the requirements for gaining an initial job and advancement along a career path. Our goal is to expose them to a wide range of opportunities that are available after their athletic careers are over.

We also spend time addressing the transition from college athletics to the world of business. If you are a member interested in participating or leading a break-out session, contact us.

Other Events:

• We have four membership meetings each year held in Birmingham or Tuscaloosa.
• Member workshops to develop job skill programs and compliance education.
• Meetings with individual student/athletes to assist in job interview preparation.
