Student Stories
“The amount of hands-on education and all my field experiences and internships allowed me to build the connections I needed to further my career and find a job in the industry right out of college.”
Kristianna Lawless
“When I came on my visit, I just had a feeling that this was the place for me. I really liked the new athletic facilities. I decided to stay for my graduate work because of the financial package that is offered to the graduate assistants. I knew that I would be involved heavily in athletics and I would learn a lot about my field.”
