2/21/2018 2:45:00 PM | H.A.L.L. Program
South Orange, N.J. - A signature event of the Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program, the Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its sixth annual Patrick M. and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray Leadership Forum for Student-Athletes on Monday, Feb. 19, welcoming a group of three distinguished professionals to Walsh Gymnasium for a career-oriented discussion and networking opportunity.
Panelists included Val Ackerman, commissioner of the BIG EAST Conference, Len DeLuca, college athletics consultant and former vice president at both CBS Sports and ESPN, and Nancy Holecek, senior vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at RWJ Barnabas.
Â
Glenn Horine, former President of Arena Football League Properties and current President of H & H Consulting and Executive Director of the Iona College Center for Sports, Entertainment and Media Business, moderated the evening.
Â
Throughout the evening, the panelists shared insight and advice derived from their own experiences and their respective paths to becoming leaders in their fields. But rather than simply be a lecture to the student-athletes, the event offered the opportunity for student-athletes to participate in an open dialogue with the panelists.
Â
In addition to the event's question and answer session, there was also a reception held in the Walsh Lobby where student-athletes were afforded the opportunity to have one-on-one conversation with each of the speakers.
Â
The Leadership Forum was re-named in September 2015 in honor of Pat '64, MBA '72 and Mary Ann Murray, who generously made a gift to the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund in support of the event.
Â
One of the many professional development initiatives H.A.L.L. Program calendar, the forum was open to student-athletes of all classes and saw all 14 varsity teams represented.
