The primary focus of our internship is to provide sports marketing and game presentation experience in a variety of avenues. The main goal of our marketing department is to promote UNLV athletics to faculty, students, alumni, and all Rebel fans in the surrounding community. By doing this, we aim to foster and mold the next generation of collegiate and professional sports marketers by:
- Creating outstanding fan experiences
- Implementing cutting-edge marketing strategies
- Education on game script creation
- Leadership opportunities
- Working on semester-long group initiatives
REQUIRED SKILLS AND EDUCATION
Preference will be given to students with a passion and strong desire to work in the sports industry.
