Sport and Entertainment Career Day

Many students are afraid of what faces them at the “next level” after college. NUSEM 460 Associates, at Neumann University, will deliver “College to Career: The Next Level” Career Day on April 24, 2015. 

Students with an interest in working in the sport & entertainment industries will be able to network with organizations as well as learn from professionals how to best pursue their dream job. NUSEM460-A has been hard at work in preparation of this flagship event.

From 10am – 12pm tables will be set up in the Mirenda Center Atrium allowing students to interact with representatives from numerous sport and entertainment organizations and to discuss jobs and/or internship opportunities. From 1pm – 3pm, there will be a moderated Q&A panel with select guests discussing how they made it to where they are as well as how students can best prepare for the job market.

Currently confirmed for the Q&A panel are:

Marc Farzetta - host/anchor on 94WIP and an associate producer for NBC Sports; Mechelle Lavelle - sport/entertainment photographer who has done work with professional teams here in Philadelphia as well as working the Jordan brand;
Mark Cunningham - Ticket Sales Manager at the Wilmington Blue Rocks and minor league affiliate of the Kansas City Royals.

Companies already confirmed for the morning career fair segment include:

Additional panel speakers and companies will be added in the coming weeks.
