Staying Connected

The college athlete experience is unique in many ways, and the bond that teammates develop can last a lifetime. This spring, former Purchase Panthers were invited to reconnect for an online meetup, hosted by the Alumni Association in partnership with the Athletics Department. The panel, made up of former athletes who have found success in a wide variety of fields, led a lively conversation about career paths and the way their lives have been shaped by experiences on the playing field, court, or pool.
