The Laker Impact Series is a signature program designed to empower student-athletes with life skills and knowledge that go beyond the classroom and playing field. Each semester, we host a series of engaging and practical presentations focused on success during college and preparation for life after graduation. Sessions explore academic habits, personal development, career readiness, wellness, and more.
All presentations are hosted in collaboration with the University Counseling Center and other campus experts. Unless otherwise noted, sessions begin at 6:00 PM and are held in person. Attendance is tracked and shared with coaching staff.
