Moore said it was his mother who encouraged him to play football. A native of Roswell, New Mexico, Moore was able to efficiently balance playing a sport and achieving in the classroom. According to golobos.com, he had over 6,000 rushing yards during his high school years, all while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. Moore played for the Lobos from 2002 to 2005 and was named Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year — the first Lobo rookie ever voted first team allconference, according to the team’s website. The former running back has several accolades to his name, including: the 2005 Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year, earning first team MWC four times and becoming just the sixth player NCAA history to rush 1,000 yards four times, according to golobos. com.

Jennifer Embry, who recently graduated with a degree in international studies in December 2017, is currently applying for grad school but is attending the Expo to see what employers can offer her in the future. “With all the different employers there, it can help give me more of an idea on what is out there that I can do,” she said.
