NCAA STUDENT-ATHLETE LEADERSHIP FORUM
Leadership Forum in Baltimore from April 13-16.
MANSFIELD, Mass. - Three student-athletes from the Northeast-10 Conference will be attending the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum this week in Baltimore, Md., from April 13-16 and will join the list of over 5,000 student-athletes who have participated in the program since its inception in 1997.
Adelphi's Matt Price (men's basketball), Pace's Noelle Meij (field hockey) and Southern Connecticut's Tim O'Shea (football) were selected by the Conference to attend the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum, which has proven to be a life-changing experience for student-athletes with its best-in-class programming.
Student-athletes who participate in the forum return with invaluable leadership skills, a refined understanding of the relationship among personal values, core beliefs and behavioral styles, and the support of a close personal network of like-minded peers to provide continued connection and dialogue after the program concludes. It serves as a transformational opportunity for student-athletes and administrators to build a leadership toolkit and develop vital self-awareness that allows them to realize their potential, both personally and professionally.
Participants are assigned to a "color team" with about 30 other attendees, and within those frequent color team sessions, they work in an open environment with trained facilitators to engage in discussions regarding leadership and its many components. In addition to color team sessions, attendees will participate in a community service project, learn about the inner workings of the NCAA and hear from keynote speakers who share their powerful stories.
