Garden City, NY (01/29/2021) — With the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) expected to approve changes to allow Division I athletes to profit off of their name, image and likeness, Adelphi University will host a virtual micro-class to discuss the topic on Thursday, February 11. The 30-minute class will be hosted by Greg Bouris, director of Adelphi's undergraduate Sport Management program and former director of communications for the Major League Baseball Players Association.

The event is part of the University's "Experience Adelphi" series, which seek to exemplify Adelphi's commitment to lifelong learning and feature topics and speakers unique to the University, sharing their knowledge with the wider community.
