The entire athletic department, including administrators, coaches and student-athletes, are inviting girls AND boys ages 8 to 13 from the surrounding areas to Stevens' campus in Hoboken to spend time with current student-athletes and learn more about the history of women and girls in sport.

This FREE event will run from 1:00 p.m. through approximately 3 p.m. and participants will have the opportunity to hear from female and male student athletes through an interactive forum and be able to play the different sports offered at Stevens with the student athletes. They are also encouraged to stick around for the women's basketball contest as the Ducks host King's College in Canavan Arena.
