With her sights set on an executive job in professional sports, Dunning gave up her position as the Director of Basketball Operations at the College of Charleston to enroll as a full-time graduate student in an online master’s program. She concluded that the best way for her to accomplish her dream of working in professional sports would be to focus solely on academics.
