"As a student in the Communications/Sports Journalism major, I've had the privilege of working at the Hoophall Classic, presented by Spaulding. Working at such a prestigious event has been nothing short of incredible. It was this event that sparked my passion for sports management, and for that I am extremely grateful. The event not only helped me grow professionally but also allowed me to build meaningful relationships with individuals that will impact my career and life for years to come."
