LAS VEGAS - The NCAA Regional Student-Athlete Development Conferences provide both student-athletes and intercollegiate athletics staff members the chance to develop their skills as a leader, as well as the valuable opportunity to network with colleagues from across the country. On the weekend of November 7, 2008, UNLV was represented at the leadership conference in San Diego by Beau Brence from Football, and Alejandra Guacaneme from Women's Golf. Alan Hott, Athletic Academic Advisor, represented UNLV's Student-Athlete Academic Services department at the conference.
Alejandra, a native of Armenia, Colombia, was an outspoken member in her small group sessions and proudly represented the cultural diversity of UNLV Athletics. Brence, a true freshman from Plano, Texas, was estimated by the NCAA staff members as the youngest participant at the conference. He is an up-and-coming leader for UNLV's football program.
The NCAA National Student-Athlete Development Conference is held in Orlando, Fla., each June, and attendees from the regional conferences are given strong consideration by their institutions to represent their programs at the national level.
