GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida lacrosse juniors Lexi Bolton and Emily Petillo were two of 28 student-athletes invited to the SEC Career Tour, as the league announced on Wednesday.
The third annual tour will be held in Atlanta from Nov. 27-29, leading up to the SEC Football Championship Game.
Bolton and Petillo are the first Florida lacrosse players invited to the event.
The goal of the career tour is to provide exposure for SEC student-athletes who are seeking career opportunities in various fields. The group is scheduled to visit the headquarters and meet with executives at several corporations in the Atlanta area, including UPS, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, The Home Depot and the Atlanta Hawks organization.
Also included on the agenda for the student-athletes is a dinner with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.
There will also be presentations by Josh Foliart, former Arkansas football student-athlete and co-founder/CEO of MULTIPLi Global, and Randy Hain, founder and president of Serviam Partners.
