Business of Sports Alumni Testimonials

”Of course, like the other 49 incredible students within the BOS Program, I am a massive sports fan, although it was a passion that I didn't realize I had until later in life. I had no idea or guidance on how to get there. This is where BOS, and, most importantly, Jessica Baumgarten, have given me the incredible steppingstones to reach my goals. The BOS Program has been nothing short of a life-changing experience."—Cory L., BOS’24

“I created ֱ Women in Sports, a student organization dedicated to providing young women opportunities to network with industry professionals and learn more about different career paths within sports to increase female representation. I also am a marketing intern for ֱ Athletics. I knew this program would provide me many opportunities to network with professional sports organizations and individuals."—Sophie O., BOS’24 

"My experience within the Business of Sports Program has been nothing short of miraculous. I have learned so much and (bonus) doubled my network. Every single person involved is extremely motivated, and it has fueled my sports career ambitions."—Sammie A., BOS’24 

"My experience in this program has been amazing, and it has made me more interested in pursuing a career in sports. I decided to apply because sports have always been a big part of my life and culture since I was a kid, and I've always dreamed of working in the industry."—Kamran A., BOS’24

While always having a desire to work in the sports industry, I have not felt as confident in my skills and experience as I do now from what I learned in BOS. I believe BOS is perfect for anyone wanting to work in sports, as the program teaches you what it takes to be a professional all while having a blast along the way!"
