BOULDER – The University of Colorado's athletic department held its Women, Leadership and Sport Summer Symposium on Wednesday afternoon at Hotel Boulderado. The event for CU's female student-athletes was to provide an opportunity for personal and professional development.
The main goal of Wednesday's event, in which about 60 student-athletes were on-campus and able to attend, was developing a personal network. Many student-athletes know how to communicate with their teammates, coaches and classmates, but may struggle when they get out of an athletics setting. That's where Wednesday's event comes into play, trying to bridge that gap between athletics and "the real world.
