Alumni Success

"When I graduated from the program I already had more valuable sport and professional experience than many other graduates I was competing against in the job market.  My connections within the department helped me secure my first professional position in sport. The faculty were extremely supportive and expected a high standard, which is great preparation for the professional world.  Without the education and experience I gained from the program, I would not be where I am today."  

"I believe that my experiences as a student in this program certainly prepared me for the tasks and challenges that exist in the world of sport. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, encouragement and guidance I received from the faculty members within this program."

"The SRU Sport Management Department afforded me so many things. It helped me find and maintain a group of best friends, prepared me for the rigors of life in the sports industry, and allowed me to connect with professionals all across the globe. I can't thank Dr. Abney, Dr. Crow, Dr. Higgs and Hank enough for all they did for me personally and for my career during my four years at SRU and beyond!"

"I've realized in the past few months that this major does a lot more than anyone thinks it does. We change from the freshman that we are to the young adult that walks across the stage at graduation. Through the interview processes we go through and papers and presentations and networking we ultimately become prepared for the sport industry"

"It's been 4 years since graduating and the same values and work ethic taught on the first day of class are the core values that help me succeed day in and day out.  You always wonder if you made the right decision when you look back at the college you attend.  When I look back I couldn't be more confident in the decision I made to major in Sport Management at SRU."
