“I really enjoyed Dr. Tammy Crawford. She made me feel positive moving forward with my degree choice and she also opened my mind to many different career paths that could possibly be a future career.”

“As an athlete I didn’t know how exactly everything worked. I just showed up ready to play, not even considering how much effort and time is put into managing the event. Now I have a better understanding of it all, so that next time I attend an event, I will pay attention to detail and how it is being managed.”
