Dr. Tiffany Richardson, lecturer in the School of Kinesiology, mentored students at the first annual Women in Sport Careers (WISC) Speed Networking Event on March 4.

Richardson serves as faculty adviser for WISC and stated, “The first WISC event with the women from the Minnesota Twins and related companies was an amazing opportunity for networking. Students were able to get career advice directly from successful established women in sports at various stages in their careers.” The event was held in the Champions Club at Target Field, and nearly 30 women in upper-management positions with the Minnesota Twins attended.

Richardson further remarked, “I hope this is the start of a very long relationship between the University of Minnesota, Women In Sports Careers, and the Minnesota twins. It was an amazing night!”

WISC is holding their next event on March 28 with the Minnesota Vikings and the Pageant of Hope. For more information on WISC or events follow them on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or email them directly at umnwisc@umn.edu.
