I’m a student-athlete and want to work in sports, so I love that I can connect my marketing major with sport management to focus on sports marketing. There’s always something new to learn here, and I’m always talking to my advisors about upcoming opportunities for my future.

Nick Sampeck

My Dean experience led me to where I am today primarily through the connections, mentors and people I met along the way. They helped me find incredible internship experiences where I expanded my network and learned different skills, both in theory and in practice. Since graduation, I have been putting those skills to use while pursuing a career in tech sales with Dell Technologies.
