For athletes, winter break is often cut short because they have to return to campus early for practice. That limits their involvement in career-prep activities, like externships, that their classmates may be free to pursue. Athletes are similarly hampered the rest of the year, unable to get to career-development sessions because they’re too busy with classes, practices, and games.
So at Davidson College, where about 25 percent of students — 429 total — play on Division I teams, the career-services center uses that winter-break practice period to help athletes catch up.
