What can a passion for soccer lead to?
Join us for NHCC Soccer Day, a celebration of the many opportunities that can grow from the sports, activities, and interests you love. Whether you're interested in athletics, business, marketing, communications, recreation, leadership, or entrepreneurship, this event is designed to help students explore career pathways and connect with professionals who have turned their passions into meaningful work.
We're excited to welcome Andrea Yoch, Co-Owner and Founder of Minnesota Aurora FC, who will share her personal and professional journey and discuss how she transformed a love for the game into a successful career. As a first-generation college student herself, Andrea brings a unique perspective on pursuing opportunities, overcoming challenges, and building a future that reflects your interests and goals.
Following Andrea's presentation, students will have the opportunity to connect with NHCC faculty and staff during a career exploration fair. Representatives from a variety of fields will be available to answer questions, share insights about their professions, and discuss educational and career pathways.
And because it wouldn't be Soccer Day without soccer, we'll finish the afternoon with a friendly match on the pitch. Wear your favorite soccer jersey, cheer on your classmates, or join the game and help create an energetic atmosphere for our campus community.
Whether you're exploring future career options, looking to make new connections, or simply want to celebrate the sport, there's something for everyone at Soccer Day.
