STATESBORO - Georgia Southern student-athletes took part in All Pro Networking Night, an Eagles in Transition event, Monday evening in Hanner Fieldhouse. 

Local businesses, such as Sea Island Bank, YMCA Statesboro and Macon Occupational Medicine, had booths on the Hanner arena floor. Senior student-athletes were able to interact with potential employers and gain valuable career advice. 

"Tonight was an excellent opportunity for our student-athletes to network with business leaders in the community and gather valuable advice about career opportunities," said Gleen Hart, senior associate athletics director for marketing and fan experience, and the manager of the Eagles in Transition program. "This All Pro Night event is just one of the components in the Eagles in Transition program as we strive to build champions in the classroom, on the fields and in life."

Eagles in Transition is designed to help prepare student-athletes for life after athletics and the transition from college to the real world by providing them with the necessary life skills to be socially responsible, productive citizens that excel in life, the work place and have a positive impact on their families and communities. All Pro Networking Night is one of five Eagles in Transition events, which will continue to take place throughout the year.

Georgia Southern Athletics provides current information on all its sports through its official website, GSEagles.com, which is fully responsive across all mobile devices.
