"Throughout my time in the MASM program, I have been privileged to have a number of opportunities that directly align with my career goals. Serving as an intern for ESPN Events has allowed me the opportunity to travel and gain sports operations experience in a professional sized venue. In addition to gaining valuable experience, I was honored to be chosen as a U.S. Olympic F.L.A.M.E. Participant allowing myself to network with other emerging leaders in sport." - Dija Cobb
