I recently renewed my membership in College Sports Communicators (CSC). This membership has afforded me an abundance of opportunities—both personally and professionally. It was through CSC that I learned about my first opportunity beyond my campus: a volunteer position at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
On a personal note, CSC has introduced me to many of my closest friends—some of whom were there on one of the biggest days of my life: my wedding. Long-time College Sports Communicators member Roy Pickerill refers to those in the CSC organization as a family. I agree wholeheartedly.
If you’ve come across my blog and are wondering what getting involved means, I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you.
If you want to grow your career in sports communications, few investments pay off like active involvement in College Sports Communicators. CSC isn’t just a membership—it’s a network of peers who understand the unique challenges of our profession and are eager to share solutions, ideas, and opportunities.
Ways to get involved:
-
Join a committee — From awards to education to advocacy, there’s a place to share your skills and learn new ones. More on this to come in my next blog.
-
Attend conferences and webinars — Stay ahead of trends while making face-to-face connections that can last a lifetime.
-
Volunteer for projects — Small contributions can have big impacts on the profession while raising your visibility.
-
Share your expertise — Whether presenting at a session or writing an article, your experience can help others grow.
When you’re active in CSC, you’re not just improving your own career—you’re strengthening the profession for everyone.
Because in college sports communications, the best work happens when we connect, collaborate, and elevate each other.
