>> My name is Pam Wettig, Pamela Wettig, but I go by Pam.
And I'm currently the senior associate athletics director here at University of Denver.
And I have the privilege of working with coaches and student athletes.
In particular I supervise the 2 basketball programs and work with our student athletes
in trying to help them with their career interests and internships.
So primarily I do more employer relations
because obviously we have this amazing career center that --
you know with career counselors and so on.
So when I'm walking into the office and I think I have my day planned and I have my priorities A
through whatever, that usually doesn't happen because you know it's an ever evolving world.
When you deal with people, you never know what you're going to get every day.
So I -- that's what makes my day interesting.
As I said I work with the athletes, and in particular I've been spending a lot
of time trying to really hit the streets and get contacts and get to know different employers
and different options so that our student athletes --
and again all of our student athletes are students first.
So they all have majors.
And we have wonderful career counselors in all the different areas on campus.
But I think we have a unique situation where we have very, very marketable people.
So I'm just out there trying to find more opportunities and, then of course we share
that with all the students but just trying to help them.
Again, we're not going to get them the job.
That's not our intention to you know do that necessarily, but find opportunities.
I would say right now, I'm in a real comfortable place and that, sure,
I spend a ton of time at the university.
I mean obviously we've got games.
I mean this weekend's a perfect example.
I mean we've got games every single night and 2 or 3 of them a day.
And you know I go to almost all of them, as many as I can, but I've also grown
and matured a little bit in terms of I've burned out once when I was coaching.
And I don't want to burn out again doing the administrative part.
So I think it's a challenge, but I think it's 1
that as you get older maybe it's just you try to figure it out.
