BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU Women’s Tennis Senior Gaby Rivera has been selected as a participant for the 2024 SEC Career Tour, which will take place in Atlanta, Ga., from Dec. 3-5.
“We are all very proud of Gaby,” said head Coach Taylor Fogleman. “Since she arrived, she has immersed herself in the LSU Community, Athletics, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I think this is a beautiful opportunity and initiative by the SEC. I know she will get a lot out of the experience, as will all the attendees. The opportunity will enable Gaby to get her thoughts and views on the opportunities she will be exposed to while attending and will help set up her future after her time at LSU.”
The tour aims to gain insights into the operations and contributions of these key players in the region. Rivera will represent LSU as she has continuously contributed to the community since arriving in Baton Rouge.
Among the attendants, the Guatemala native joins 30 other SEC athletes in a networking opportunity to plan for post-college opportunities. Since transferring to LSU, Rivera has been working to help those in need, being named to the 2024 SEC Women’s Tennis Community Service Team.
The primary goal of the tour is to give SEC student-athletes a first-hand view of career opportunities in numerous fields.
Attendees will visit the Atlanta SEC headquarters to meet with executives to network and provide insight on career opportunities after earning their degrees.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey will be among the executives the students will meet with. The tour is designed to offer internships and entry-level jobs after graduation.
This year marks the ninth edition of the tour, which will take place in Atlanta before the SEC Football championship game.
The group has organized a visit to various prominent locations in the Atlanta area. The itinerary includes stops at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Metro Atlanta Chamber, One Digital, Southern Company, and Porsche North America.
