FALL SEMESTER 2024

Every semester, the LAKER Academic Center offers Impact Series presentations, with the goal of helping student-athletes "succeed academically by providing them with the necessary tools and exposing them to knowledge that will help them adjust to life after college."

Each session addresses a topic designed to help students be successful and educate them on issues they may encounter. Below are a few of our upcoming LAKER Impact Series presentations.

All seminars are conducted in conjunction with the University Counseling Center. If you have any inquiries about availability for a specific time or program request, email Elora Ferrie (s[email protected]) or visit the Impact Series website.
