"The main thing I’ve taken away from my experiences at Southeast is communication skills — in person, by email, by phone, and by other written forms. All of the experiences I’ve had with classmates and professors and all the written assignments and speeches I’ve done have taught me the communication skills that I will need in a career in sports."
