Alumni sought for job shadowing

We’re excited to launch the inaugural Sport Management “Students and Professionals Meet Week” in January 2019. S.P.M. Week is aimed to help current students learn more about workplaces and careers in sport, and we’d love your help. We’re seeking interested alumni to host a student (or students) to job shadow you for a day, two, or the entire week between January 7 and 11, 2019. The experience is 100 percent up to you and what your organization is willing/able to provide the student. Hosting a student can provide you and your organization with many benefits, including gaining experience in training and mentoring, improving productivity, meeting and molding a potential future employee, and fostering team spirit. For more information or to participate in the event, email S.P.M. internship placement coordinator Nicole Imbrogno or call 315-443-7418 or visit the event page

Inaugural alumni event encourages professional growth, networking

As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing students’ professional growth and networking opportunities, Sport Management hosted “S.P.M. 205: 2.0 S.P.M. Alumni in #SportsBiz” in October 2017 on campus. More than 40 alumni and 120 students attended the event. Connecting students with industry practitioners and leaders in sports is a hallmark of Falk College’s Department of Sport Management. When the department considered what companies to invite to campus, it knew exactly where to start. “There were no better people to invite than our Sport Management alumni who are working for the companies our current students hope to work for some day,” said Sport Management internship placement coordinator Nicole Imbrogno. The program included a welcome from Sport Management Director Michael Veley, who is also the Rhonda S. Falk Endowed Professor of Sport Management. Alumni took part in panel discussions focusing on the sport industry, business analytics, and the importance of practical experience, and then attended a network-ing session. The day was also an opportunity for reconnecting with classmates, faculty, and staff. The event concluded with an alumni tailgate before the Orange upset Clemson in the Carrier Dome. “Sport Management prides itself on being a family, and it’s evident through the faculty and staff, especially those who have been involved with the program since the beginning, and stay in touch with many of the more than 600 S.P.M. alumni now infiltrating the sport industry,” Imbrogno said. 

Jack Wentzell ’14 earns honor

Sport Management congratulates Jack Wentzell, Class of 2014, on being named to the International Association of Venue Managers (I.A.V.M.) Foundation’s 30 Under 30 Class of 2018. Wentzell was honored for his work as senior operations manager for Spectra Venue Management/C.F.E. Arena at the University of Central Florida.

The award is given to emerging leaders in the venue management industry by the I.A.V.M. Foundation. As a selected recipient, Wentzell received a travel stipend of $800 and complimentary registration to attend VenueConnect, I.A.V.M.’s annual conference and trade show, which was held July 22-25 in Ontario, Canada. 

Meet Sam Staton S.P.M. ’10, director of events and travel, Northern California Golf Association

People told me I was crazy. Why would a California kid leave beautiful weather to go to college in snow-ridden Syracuse? It was certainly a big risk, especially considering I never visited the campus before transferring to finish my degree. I was taking an enormous chance, but did it pay off!

The S.P.M. program was relatively young when I transferred in 2008. Along with my move from the West Coast, I was also taking a chance on this program. Would it offer me the opportunity to find a career in the sports industry like I had hoped? My first “welcome to S.P.M.” meeting quickly answered my question. Professor Michael Veley addressed a group of students, telling us how difficult it is to break into the sports industry. He emphasized the importance of internships, relationship building, professionalism, leadership, and academic excellence as key factors in securing a job after graduation. He was right. I jumped right in to the S.P.M. Club, the S.U. B.C.M. church, and interned with the First Tee of Syracuse to pursue my passion for golf. In due part to this dedication, I was chosen as the first S.P.M. student to receive the Remembrance Scholarship.

After graduation, I secured a position with the Northern California Golf Association in Pebble Beach. I am currently the director of events and travel, responsible for increasing participation and revenue while managing a growing budget and staff. I run a variety of golf events to promote the game and increase N.C.G.A. members’ enjoyment of golf. I oversee our travel department, taking groups to the world’s top golf destinations, including St. Andrews, Ireland, Bandon Dunes, and Pinehurst, among others. It has afforded me the chance to see and learn about the world outside of which I live.

My advice? Take chances, get out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and experience different cultures. The more you know about the things you don’t know, the better equipped you will be when opportunity knocks. 

Meet Akeem Thomas S.P.M. ’11, multimedia account executive, E.S.P.N.

Upon graduating from Syracuse University in 2011, I began my professional career with the New York Yankees as an inside sales ticket representative. I spent one year with the Yankees selling season ticket and premium seating packages to fans and businesses in the Tri-State area. After my stint with the Yankees, I started a career in advertising sales at E.S.P.N., which has been my professional home for the last six years.

My first opportunity with E.S.P.N. arose by maintaining a strong relationship with the primary recruiter who originally offered me a job at E.S.P.N. right out of college. I turned down the position to pursue the opportunity with the Yankees. That ongoing relationship with the recruiter ultimately opened the door a year later for my first opportunity with E.S.P.N. in their New York office.

I started at E.S.P.N. in July 2012 as a sales assistant and have gradually worked my way up the ranks over the last six years. I have held four positions during my tenure and recently received a promotion to multimedia account executive in Los Angeles. My responsibilities include managing and growing a $150,000,000 account list that includes clients such as Apple, AT&T, and Google, among others.

My experience at E.S.P.N. has been tremendous thus far. E.S.P.N. is an incredibly fun and dynamic place to work and I am very excited for the future of the company in a media industry that is constantly evolving. Syracuse University is proudly represented in the hall-ways at E.S.P.N. with a large number of alumni employed here.

My advice to current S.P.M. students is to never stop networking. Relationships are so important and you never know where a conversation may take you. Treat every relationship with respect and always be the person who is a positive influence to those around you, regardless of their job title. 

Meet Emily Dumas S.V.E.M. ’15, membership experience account executive, Phoenix Suns

Many people believe it’s impossible to have a career in sports without being an athlete. For me, working in one of the four major leagues never crossed my mind. On my first day at Syracuse University in the Sport Venue and Event Management graduate program, I was told the easiest way to break into the industry was through sales. At that moment, I commit-ted to gaining as much experience as possible while in graduate school.

While at S.U., I interned in the sales departments for Syracuse Athletics, the Syracuse Crunch, and the Syracuse Chiefs. Those experiences opened many doors for me to get into one of the major four leagues. After interviewing with several teams, I had the most interest in the N.B.A. This league is quickly becoming the world’s premier and most innovative sports and lifestyle brand, which made it the perfect place to start my career.

So I moved from my hometown of Liverpool, New York, to start my career with the Phoenix Suns in Arizona. I am fortunate to be part of an accomplished and well-respected inside sales program. Quickly, I realized I had a true passion for building relationships and lasting memories for our fans, and my clients. After four months on the new business team, I was promoted to senior staff as a membership experience account executive. My experience with the Suns has helped me grow personally and professionally as I work closely with more than 500 accounts. My job is to grow revenue while ensuring fans have the best experience every time they come to our arena—and keep them coming back every season.

I plan to grow further within the Suns’ organization and to expand my impact on the business. If anyone reading this wants to work in the sports industry, my advice is to re-member that the most important sale you will ever make is selling yourself. Always believe in yourself and trust your process. Work hard and good things will come! 

Meet Christina Brennan S.P.M. ’17, vice president of new business development, CelebExperts

Shortly after graduating from Syracuse University in 2017, I began working as a junior sales associate for the New York Yankees. Within a few months, I was promoted to inside sales associate and managed a half million-dollar book of business. I learned how diligence and perseverance were keys to success in the sports industry.

I made more than 100 calls a day and worked every Yankees’ home game. The intensity and the requirement to think on my feet was the best learning experiences I could have received.

While working for the Yankees, I continued to expand my network and maintain relationships I had established. It was when I re-connected with Evan Morgenstein (S.U. ’87), who was the supervisor on my first sports internship, that my life changed. I was introduced to Evan in Professor Veley’s office when, as fate would have it, he accidentally dialed his number and tossed me the phone. On the spot, I pitched myself as his virtual intern and worked for Evan for six months. Three years later, Evan asked me to come back to the company, in a newly created role of vice president of new business development at CelebExperts and P.M.G. Sports. Having worked on several successful endorsements at Excel Sports Management during my senior Capstone, I knew it was an opportunity too good to pass up.

Every day I get to work with amazing talent like Instagram icon Jen Selter, 12-time Olympic medalist Dara Torres, and Olympic swimming legend Mark Spitz. I also consult for companies across many industries and am constantly meeting stars of the future. There is never a dull moment as this position is the challenge I was hoping for. I am always learning and honing my skills.

My advice to students: Keep networking and maintaining relationships. Your network is the key to opportunity! 

Meet Michael Ross S.P.M. ’08, area scout, Atlanta Falcons 

When I enrolled at Syracuse University, the Sport Management program did not yet exist. Fortunately, that changed in the fall of 2005 when the program was established, and I was part of S.P.M.’s first graduating class. 

I always wanted to become an N.F.L. scout. My journey to obtain a full-time position in the N.F.L. wasn’t the easiest, but through hard work and perseverance it worked out. Knowing I did not have the skill set to play at the collegiate level, I took a different path to stay involved with football. I was fortunate to work with the S.U. football team as a student manager, which gave me the opportunity to network internally with the coaching and support staffs and externally with N.F.L. personnel when they came to campus. 

I completed my senior Capstone with the S.U. football operations department on campus and at training camp with the Indianapolis Colts. After graduation, I had a decision to make between two internship opportunities: Atlanta Falcons or Buffalo Bills. I picked Atlanta and I haven’t looked back. 

I am approaching my 10th season with the Falcons and have held various positions, including training camp intern, seasonal personnel assistant, scouting assistant, pro scout and area scout. 

This is my third season covering schools in the Southwest, a region that covers Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Nebraska. Prior to the Southwest, I covered the Midwest (two seasons) and Northeast (two seasons) on the college side of personnel and then one season as a pro scout. 

My role as an area scout is to be an expert in my area and gain as much information as I can for upper management. There are many areas to focus on, including knowing the prospects at each school, their background, how they interact with their peers, and how they are viewed on/off campus in the community. Most importantly emphasize what they can do for us as a team to achieve success on and off the field. 

I have been fortunate to attend the Super Bowl and I look forward to finally bringing the Lombardi Trophy home to Atlanta! 

Meet Lori Robinson S.P.M. ’09, director of learning center services, Texas A&M University

One of the most impactful points of my collegiate experience at Syracuse was competing as a track and field student-athlete while majoring in Sport Management.

As an undergraduate student, I was involved in the S.U. Athletics Department and on campus in various leadership roles, but as my senior year rolled around, I was unsure if I wanted to attend law school in an effort to work in the front office of a sports league, or work in a player development role with a specific sport team.

For my senior Capstone, Professor Veley persuaded me to accept an internship with Major League Soccer in New York City. My internship experience reminded me how much I enjoyed teaching and connecting with others through education.

After graduation, I decided to pursue a master’s degree in Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation (I.D.D.E.) at Syracuse. Through that program, I learned the importance of incorporating assessment and evaluation throughout a process, a skill that I use daily. After completing my masters, I served as a learning specialist and assistant tutor coordinator in the student-athlete academic support unit at Louisiana State University.

I then worked as a learning specialist at the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center at the University of Tennessee. I was able to combine my passion for education by challenging and supporting student-athletes in an authentic way by sharing my experiences. I am proud to now serve as the Director of Learning Center Services at Texas A&M University’s Nye Academic Center.

The experience I gained in the S.P.M. program at S.U. helped to prepare me for a career in sport and I am continuously reminded about the power of connection. The S.P.M. family-type network gives me an opportunity to connect with a variety of people in differing aspects of sport. I have mentors and friends for whom I will forever be thankful. I am proud to be an S.P.M. alumna and will continue to serve the department and university in any way that I can.
