Hamilton College women's lacrosse goalkeeper Eliza Schwarz '27 (New York, N.Y./Poly Prep Country Day School) and men's lacrosse midfielder Charlie Rooney '27 (Lake View, N.Y./St. Francis HS) were selected to attend the NCAA Career in Sports Forum, which was held in Indianapolis from May 27 to May 30.
 
More than 150 third-, fourth- and fifth-year student-athletes interested in staying in sports in their professional careers went to the 2025 event at the national office. The Career in Sports Forum educated participants on the intersection of personal strengths and career opportunities.
 
The forum provided tangible experiences for student-athletes to explore professional and career development strategies while offering insights into careers available in sports. Each session broadened participants' understanding of the diverse roles available in the sports sector, helping them to envision their futures more clearly.
 
The participants were divided into small groups, better known as their "career camp sites," to have more personal discussion and interactions. Finally, the forum provided student-athletes with invaluable opportunities to network with peers and decision-makers at various levels of college athletics.
