Seton Hall Hosts 12th Annual Leadership Forum for Student-Athletes
2/28/2022 1:59:00 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 annual Patrick M. and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray Leadership Forum for Student-Athletes on Feb. 8 inside Bethany Hall, the program's first in-person event since February 2020.
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: James Burnette, the Senior Director of Global Sales at LinkedIn, Cherie Leanza, the co-founder and Vice President of Marketing for GenWealth Group, and Kimberley Ring, the founder of Ring Communications.
Glenn Horine, a sports industry strategist and co-founder and CEO of Mettle + Rise, moderated the evening. While Horine did ask questions to the panelists, much of the discussion was student-athlete driven as they were able to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge the panelists brought to the table.
The mission of the H.A.L.L. Program is to over the course of the student-athletes' time at Seton Hall University, be the catalyst that transforms high school graduates into student-athlete leaders, and then leaders in the professional world.
