The FBI Special Agent will Zoom with the women's soccer team Tuesday.
STATESBORO – Rochelle Black, Special Agent for the FBI, will give a Zoom lecture to the Georgia Southern women's soccer team Tuesday as part of the APEX (Athletes Preparing for Employment Experiences) Career Speaker Series.
Originally from Tucson, Arizona, Black attended Clark Atlanta University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer information systems and a master's degree in computer science, with a concentration in networks and security. She was the first in her family to graduate from college and entered the FBI Academy in September of 2012. Following the Academy, she was assigned to the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office, where she worked International Terrorism for two years and then transferred to cyber for three years. In December of 2017, she transferred to the Atlanta Field Office, where she currently works cyber investigations.
The Career Speaker Series is an ongoing event throughout the academic year. Through a partnership with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, student-athletes from each athletics program choose a topic and date for their speaker, and the APEX program coordinates a 45-minute meeting via Zoom with a professional in the chosen career through its Eagle Outreach Program. Speakers will talk about the process to obtain a career in their field and the necessary skill set required to excel. Examples of careers discussed are Banking/Finance, Real Estate, Marketing/Sales, Criminal Justice, Entrepreneurship, Business/Corporate America, Accounting and Construction.
The Career Speaker series is another component of the APEX programming curriculum designed to help prepare Georgia Southern student athletes for the ultimate challenge after their playing careers- life. Led by Senior Associate Athletics Director Student-Athlete Development Gleen Hart and Senior Associate Athletics Director for Administration Tracy Ham, the APEX program fosters the holistic growth of all Georgia Southern student-athletes based on four pillars: life skills, leadership development, career growth and community engagement. The vision statement of the program is to "develop confident and independent leaders to win in their careers, communities and households."
