What is
your favorite memory from freshman year?
My floor was incredible in Towers and led to many friendships that still hold strong today. I also became great friends with all of the freshman in Sport Management which makes group projects, homework, studying for exams, and general communicating with other Sport Management majors very simple and beneficial.
What is the most important thing
that you learned about sport management and the sports
industry?
I have learned that often jobs in the sports industry follow you home, but they can also be very beneficial and rewarding, even if it is not the biggest paycheck. Going into a store and seeing advertising and marketing campaigns that you helped put together on display makes it all so surreal. Being invited to speak at the 2013 NCAA National Scholarly Colloquium because of an article that you helped write and having that article published in the Journal of Intercollegiate Sport is so unreal. Knowing that you are listed as a co-author and student researcher on a professionally written and published scholarly article in the field of your choice as just a sophomore is incredible.
What advice would you give to the
freshman based on your experience?
My advice would be to take chances and explore things that you enjoy, but to also not be afraid of things that you may know nothing about or have any experience in. Create relationships with professors because, especially in our major, the professors are incredibly well connected within the sports industry and can network you with so many different people all across the country.
If you could do it all over again, what
would you do different?
I would have taken less credits and enjoyed my time a little more. Because of the experiential nature of Drexel and our major, it is important to get experience in the field, and the classes that you take are set up to help you do that. It is very important to get experience in the field, but you must also remember that general life experiences and "good time" is something that you cannot always get later. So enjoy yourself!
