PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Vannelie Melendez of the Providence College women's tennis team was selected as one of two BIG EAST representatives at the upcoming NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum in Houston, Texas from Nov. 18-21, 2021.

Each conference office selects student-athletes from among active member schools and an administrator from the conference office.

The NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum, created in 1997, has served as a life-changing experience for more than 5,000 student-athletes who have grown personally and professionally as a result of their attendance. Student-athletes selected to attend the forum return to campus with invaluable leadership skills, a refined understanding of the relationship among personal values, core beliefs and behavioral styles, and the support of a close personal network of like-minded peers to provide continued connection and dialogue after the program concludes. This best-in-class programming experience serves as a transformational opportunity for student-athletes and administrators to build a leadership toolkit and develop vital self-awareness that allows them to realize their potential.
