"The SBA helped me make invaluable connections in the sports industry. There were so many opportunities for professional development such as learning from guest speakers, attending conferences, and having access to various internship/job/volunteer opportunities. I’m excited to stay connected with my fellow alumni members and watch each other grow and progress throughout our careers!"

“My advice to current and prospective members of the SBA is first and foremost, get involved in the organization; whether that’s a member of the board, or a volunteer of sorts, be someone who has a positive impact on the organization and can help it continue to grow and thrive. Secondly, go to as many of the events as you can. Lastly, take advantage of every opportunity to network with professionals while you’re still a student; building your professional network early will pay dividends.”

“The SBA provided, among many great experiences, two main things for me. Firstly, the breadth and depth of each event hosted by the organization provided an opportunity not only for wide exposure to many different parts of the industry but also to meet some real professionals with great advice. Secondly, it provided a foundation for friendships and relationships that I still utilize today. Finally, having leadership and support from faculty such as Dr. Neirotti and Professor Hyman is a huge plus as they not only open doors for students but are also involved personally at every step of each student’s growth in school and beyond."

“I spoke at an event for the GW Sports Business Association and was glad to see the organization is working hard to help students learn more about the professional sports industry. Students that get involved with GWSBA will surely gain valuable knowledge about the industry that will prepare them for jobs after college.”
