ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

One thing you’ll learn about sports in general is that relationships mean everything. What I learned at Pacific in terms of how to connect with people, build relationships, establish trust really made me feel prepared going into this business setting where relationships truly matter.

One of my favorite memories of Pacific were the relationships that were part of the Sport Management program. All of a sudden, I was sitting in a room with so many like-minded people, and I had never truly experienced that before in my life. To really have that community and that energy around with people who thought like I did, who had excitement about the same things I did was really a unique experience.
