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 annual Patrick M. and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray Leadership Forum for Student-Athletes in April with this year's event occurring virtually due to the pandemic.Â
Named in honor of Pat '64, MBA '72 and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray, who generously made a gift to the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund in support of the event, the Leadership Forum gives student-athletes an opportunity to engage in a career-oriented discussion and networking opportunity with successful industry professionals.
This year's panelists included: Arturas Karnisovas '94, a Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer and Academic All-American who is now the Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Chicago Bulls; Lisa Miralles Walsh J.D. '98, a Superior Court Judge in the Criminal Division for Union County, New Jersey; and Stephen Ward '98, the Chief Information Security Officer for Home Depot.
Glenn Horine, a sports industry strategist and entrepreneur currently leading the North America Sports Practice for SRiCheyenne, a global executive search boutique, moderated the discussion over Zoom.
Topics of conversation included: knowing or not knowing your career path out of college; why student-athletes are ideal candidates for jobs; how to shape one's career aspirations; and the importance of mentors and networking. After the formal portion of the conversation, breakout Zoom rooms were created, where student-athletes were able to interact with the panelists in a more intimate setting,.
