AURORA, IL (05/31/2013)(readMedia)-- Aurora University junior women's soccer player Janee Lange (Green Bay, Wis./Notre Dame Academy) has been tabbed to participate in the 2013 NCAA Career in Sports Forum (CSF) June 8-11, 2013.

More than 700 applications were received from all NCAA Division I, II and III institutions, and Lange is one of 300 student-athletes selected to participate in the four-day event.

Lange has seen action in 66 career games, starting 23 of those with nine goals and five assists. She was the 2012 Northern Athletics Conference Defensive Player of the Year, First-Team All-Conference and National Soccer Coaches Association of America Second-Team All-Region.

Lange has been a member of Spartan teams that have a combined 53-13-2 record (.794 winning percentage), have won three NAC regular season titles (2010, 2011, 2012) and three NAC Tournament crowns (2010, 2011, 2012), and appeared in three-straight NCAA Tournaments.

Hosted annually by the NCAA, the CSF brings together several hundred student-athletes to learn about careers in sports. The CSF works to dispel myths about careers in athletics, as well as, facilitate the opportunity to obtain industry trends and hot topics from current athletics professionals.

"I am very excited for the opportunity to attend the CSF in June," said Lange. "This is a great opportunity to learn more about careers in sports, especially coaching collegiate athletes. The CSF will help me network and pursue a career in collegiate athletics."

The CSF's objectives for the student-athletes in attendance include: 1. how their personal values intersect with career opportunities; 2. understand how behavioral styles impact individual effectiveness; 3. develop actionable plans for personal growth and development; 4. learn a realistic view of the roles of coach or administrator in collegiate athletics or conference offices, as well as, within sports law and the sports entertainment industry; 5. examine the viability of selecting coaching, athletics administration, sports law, sports media and entertainment, and/or officiating as a full-time or part-time career; and 6. network with key decision makers from member institutions, sports law, sports media and entertainment, and the NCAA.
