PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer will be part of a public talk and book-signing on the Rutgers campus on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29. The event, entitled “to play your best, be your best: Perspectives on life, basketball, leadership and perseverance”, begins at 7:00 p.m. at the Cook Campus Center (multipurpose room).

She led the Scarlet Knights to their second Final Four in 2007 and the program’s first national title game appearance.
Stringer was named one of the “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports” by Sports Illustrated in 2003 and in 2007 was tabbed to the “100 Most Influential Sports Educators in America” list.
