LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State Athletic Department has teamed up with NM State Sports Properties to bring Aggie student-athletes the Life After Athletics Seminar Series presented by Wells Fargo.

"The ability to give our student-athletes the hands-on experience and learn the essential traits of creating a positive professional portfolio for career development opportunities based on best practices is immeasurable. I'd like to thank Tony Nix from our NM State Sports Properties team in helping us put this together as it allows us to focus on one of our main objectives of providing a holistic and well-rounded student-athlete experience."
 
The three-part series is designed with one goal in mind, to provide student-athletes additional tools and resources to excel in their lives after athletics.
