Athlete Network: What happens to your athletes after graduation?

Thursday, March 5, 2026 @ 12:00pm PT / 3:00pm ET

Graduation is one of the most vulnerable moments in the athlete lifecycle — but retention, career readiness, and mentorship challenges start earlier and extend well beyond commencement. Departments are under pressure to support athletes through the transition out of sport while maintaining visibility and meeting evolving attestation expectations.

When connection breaks down, athletes disengage (sometimes to the transfer portal, sometimes after graduation) right when guidance and career support matter most.

In this 30-minute live showcase + Q&A, you’ll see how athletic departments use Athlete Network from Gravyty to strengthen retention, deliver career and mentorship support, and track athletes through the transition — all in one shared platform.

You’ll see how teams use Athlete Network to:

  • Support athletes before graduation with career prep, mentorship, and structured life-after-sport programming
  • Reduce the risk of losing athletes to the transfer portal through consistent touchpoints and visibility
  • Track athletes through the transition out of sport instead of losing them after commencement
  • Maintain a living record of engagement, outreach, and career progress
  • Align Student-Athlete Development, Alumni, and Advancement in one shared system
