“My years in the Slippery Rock Sport Management program have been exciting, challenging, insightful and most of all, rewarding. As a freshman, I would have never imagined that by my senior year I would have traveled internationally, attended conferences, and networked with numerous alumni and professionals. I can confidently say that the education I received at SRU has prepared me for whatever challenges lie ahead of me as a sport manager.”
