Supporting International Student Athletes with Upcoming Name, Image, and Likeness Changes

The upcoming changes to Name, Image, and Likeness regulations both in the state of Florida and in the NCAA, present significant challenges for international student athletes whose immigration status limits their ability to financially benefit from these changes. Panelists will discuss these challenges, highlight the importance of collaborative partnerships between Athletics Compliance and International Student & Scholar Services offices, and present creative solutions to support international student athletes.

• Kristen Hagen, Associate Director, International Student & Scholar Services, Florida State University
