Civic Life Lunch - More Than a Jersey: On the Team, In the Community

In-Person Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2002082510684?aff=oddtdtcreator

What comes with representing something larger than yourself?

A jersey connects an athlete to a team, an institution, and a community. That connection can bring expectations and opportunities that have little to do with the final score.

Join us and Tufts Athletics for a conversation with Kerry Collins, former Senior Director of Community Relations for the Boston Bruins. Drawing on more than two decades with the organization, Collins will offer a behind-the-scenes perspective on how athletes can use their influence, navigate institutional priorities and work with others to create meaningful change in their communities. The conversation will explore what it takes to turn individual initiative into collective action as student-athletes find their voices within the teams and institutions they represent.

Registration required. All are welcome. Lunch provided (please BYO beverage). Virtual option available.
