Alumni Calendar

USSA has played a critical role in advancing our alumni, their communities, and the wider profession of sport over the last 50 years. With over 5,000 graduates, the our alumni make up one of the largest networks in the sports profession.

The United States Sports University’s Alumni Association exists to support our graduates long after they’ve received their diploma. We strive to foster personal and professional connections, offer lifelong learning opportunities, and promote a sense of pride in the alma mater while supporting the success and growth of its current student and alumni community.

We are excited to feature Dr. Ciara Taylor in our Ask an Alum webinar! In her segment, Dr. Taylor will discuss the importance of athletic training, different job opportunities in the field, and also give advice to our doctoral students about navigating the dissertation process.
