PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer will participate in a pair of upcoming events.
On Sept. 22, Stringer will take part in an impact conference entitled "Inclusion in the Business of Sports" at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. A number of luminaries in the sports business will talk about the inclusion of people of color and women in the business of sports.
On Oct. 30, Stringer will participate in the 2006 Governor's Conference for Women at the East Brunswick Hilton. Soledad O'Brien will serve as the keynote speaker, and Stringer will receive the group's 2006 Women of Excellence Award.

During her 35-season career, Stringer has led three different schools to the Final Four (Cheyney in 1982, Iowa in 1993 and Rutgers in 2000), the first coach in men's or women's basketball to accomplish the feat. A 2001 inductee into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, she ranks third all time in victories (750-251) and 20-win seasons (27). The three-time national coach of the year, she has posted a 230-116 (.665) record during her 11 seasons at Rutgers, leading the Scarlet Knights to eight NCAA Tournament berths (including the 2000 Final Four and 1999 and 2005 Elite Eights) as well as two BIG EAST Conference regular-season titles.
