“It has been an incredible experience working for the Cincinnati Bengals, one that Springfield College prepared me for 100%. The experience I gained at Springfield College working events, and getting that hands-on experience out in the sports field, helped me so much in getting ready for my career. Working for the Bengals and being a part of the Super Bowl experience last year was a dream come true. None of this is possible without the educational experience I gained at Springfield College.”

Client Services Coordinator, Travelers Championship

"Women need to work in sport. The more female representation there is, the more power we will have to ensure female athletes, executives, and students are given equal opportunities as men."

"Because of the experience I gained working as a student leader, it helped me have the confidence to transition into what I am doing now. I have come full circle, having worked the Hoophall as a student, and now being a part of the event in my professional career. I owe my professional growth to Springfield College because this event led me to what I am enjoying as a professional now.” Jeremy Therrien '21

"My favorite part is seeing the execution of an event come to life. Allthough a small piece of the puzzle, your role is a part of the larger picture that contributes to a successful event. Along with the fans that come out, I enjoy every minute of event days." Alex Smith'21, Sports Management
