Thank you to all of the students who attended Courtside Careers, presented by Sprite at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center! Your professionalism, engagement, and enthusiasm truly represented Dillard University well.

We are also grateful for the invitation to participate in this incredible experience.

Opportunities like this expand networks, open doors, and provide real-world insight into careers in sports and beyond.

We are proud of our students and look forward to more impactful career experiences ahead! 🏀💼✨
