NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State Athletics is hosting an International Student-Athlete Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) Forum, which will cover three sessions relating to NIL and how to navigate the space as an international student-athlete on Wednesday, September 21.
The forum, which is exclusively for Redbird international student-athletes, is believed to be the first event focused on international student-athletes in the NIL era. Sessions during the forum will be led by Tay Hawker of Hawker Family Sports & Entertainment, Talkwalker and Erin Groves of Illinois State University and will cover international student-athlete NIL education, taking advantage of dual audiences in the name, image and likeness space and international tax education.
