“It is an honor to be asked by CSC to speak at the 2024 U Summit,” said Mike Prang. “The topic that my panel will touch on is perfect, given the 50 athletic programs at Adrian College. I hope that my experiences covering the athletic programs here will be a useful resource to those in attendance.”
During the webinar, Prang will share his expertise in adapting to various athletic disciplines, emphasizing the importance of mastering rulebooks and engaging directly with athletes and coaches. Attendees will learn practical strategies for enhancing their skills and confidence in sports communications.
“The CSC U Summit is an event I attended in the past, and it was very influential in how I approach my job today,” Prang added. “It is not only useful for professionals within the field but also for communication and sport management majors, along with interns.”
