WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State women's golf senior Taryn Torgerson has been selected to participate in the NCAA Career in Sports Forum held May 31 - June 3 at the NCAA's national headquarters in Indianapolis.
 
The Career in Sports Forum is an annual educational forum hosted by the NCAA. The unique, four-day event brings together student-athletes to learn and explore potential careers in sports, with the primary focus on college athletics. It's designed to assist student-athletes in charting their career paths, while providing an opportunity to network and learn from current athletics professionals.
 
The selection process is highly competitive. Each year, more than 460,000 student-athletes participate in 24 sports at more than 1,100 NCAA member institutions. Each school may nominate up to five student-athletes, but just 200 are ultimately selected to participate. Torgerson becomes just the third Shocker invited to attend the forum.
 
The NCAA provides hotel accommodations and travel for participants, to and from the program.
 
The cutting-edge topics covered by industry experts include: how personal values intersect with career opportunities, how behavioral styles impact individual effectiveness, the key professional and career development information to assist with transition from a student-athlete to a professional, and the role of the college coach or athletics administrator. Participants will network with peers, as well as key decision-makers at the campus, conference and national level of college athletics.
 
Wichita State Athletics is committed to developing well-rounded student-athletes through personal and career development opportunities. To learn more, visit the Shocker LIFE page on GoShockers.com.
