STATESBORO – Georgia Southern graduate Carl Coolidge will speak to the Eagle men's tennis team via Zoom April 28 as part of the APEX (Athletes Preparing for Employment Experiences) Career Speaker Series.
Coolidge is a founding and managing partner at Jacobs, Coolidge & Company. He graduated from Georgia Southern with a bachelor's degree in business administration and brings more than 24 years of experience in finance to his role. Coolidge works with individuals, business owners, medical professionals, and qualified plan participants on financial planning strategies to protect their income, build assets through proper allocation and planning, enjoy a comfortable retirement lifestyle, and leave the legacy they desire.
Coolidge is active with the Retirement Advisor University and serves on the boards of the Southeast Georgia Health System Foundation, the United Way of Coastal Georgia, and the Georgia Southern University Parker School of Business. In addition, he is a former board member of the Chamber of Commerce and past graduate and instructor of the Leadership Glynn program.
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."
